Introduction Emerging Technologies

Technological Advancements

Psychology and Human Behavior

This section in the Design Guide delves into emerging technologies in relation to a point in time late 2012 With the fast pace of developing products and manufacturshying the following gives a brief overview and projections that will only be valid for a short period of time forward To gain a current look at the items discussed it is recommended that additional research be conducted on the subjects at the time of reading

In preparing this section various comments descriptions topics and write-ups from informational news sources internet sources and company sources function as resources and are put forth to provide an overview but with all types of emergshying technologies change is constant so this sections purpose is just to create an awareness In addition in the upcoming months and years new devices and methshyodologies will come forth that are totally unknown at the present time so one needs to constantly keep researching whatrsquos new The following section is to help one get started

Advancements in various industries continue to improve the quality and effectiveshyness of signage It is not necessarily technological advancements in any one singular industry but the overlapping convergence of different technologies in comshybination with one another that have allowed for large improvements in the signage industry Innovations in material science such as the development of UV resistant materials or improvement in LED- lighting technology have a positive effect on product durability and reduce power consumption Animated and interactive way-finding systems have seen marked change due to technological advances in the computer and telecommunications industries As these various industries continue to provide innovative solutions for complex wayfinding issues signage solutions and designs will become more efficient effective and less expensive than in the past

Various and diverse industries often evolve towards similar goals As a result convergence of previously separate technologies such as voice (and telephony features) data (and productivity applications) and GPS technology create new effishyciencies These emerging technologies represent progressive development that can separately and together yield innovative and a creative wayfinding solutions and create a positive and efficient visits to the VA At the time of this writing computer tablet and innovative software technologies are producing interesting products and applications that may influence and effect wayfinding

Though research and psychological studies behavioral science continues to gain a better understanding of human behavior Being lost or not being able to find your destination is a stressful and undesirable experience in any medical facility Integrating an advanced understanding of human behavior with emerging technoloshygies may yield appropriate solution for some wayfinding issues Not all VA visitors and patients feel comfortable navigating hallways using GPS rather than asking for help and directions Interactive kiosks may be effective with one demographic group of users and not other Each VA site will need to evaluate the best signage solution for its visitors and patients Technology is not intended to replace volunteers and trashyditional signage but may assist with an alternative method of delivering information and directions

LEEDreg

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design

Sustainable Design

LEEDreg is an acronym for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design The LEEDreg green building certification system is the preeminent program for rating the design construction and operation of green buildings LEEDreg is a voluntary consensus-based national standard for developing high-performance sustainable (ldquogreenrdquo) buildings

By using less energy LEEDreg-certified buildings save money for individuals busishynesses and taxpayers reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to a healthier environment for residents workers and the larger community Emerging Technology is continually being challenged to meet the building industries ldquogreenrdquo goal The demand for green products is driving changes in material and fabrication Sustainable or ldquogreen buildingrdquo design and construction is the opportunity to use our resources more efficiently while creating healthier and more energy-efficient homes Although there is no magic formula success comes in the form of leaving a lighter footprint on the environment through conservation of resources while at the same time balancing energy-efficient cost-effective low-maintenance products for our construction needs In other words green building design involves achieving the delicate balance between building and the sustainable environment

Obtaining LEEDreg certification requires compliance with a minimum number of crishyteria affecting many aspects of a project from site selection to the recycled content of building materials While participation in the LEEDreg program has been mostly voluntary some government entities require that publicly funded projects apply for LEEDreg certification and other states and communities are considering this

Sign materials and fabrication methods can be ldquogreenrdquo Use of recycled materials for the substrate will help reduce environmental impact If a sign substrate is manufacshytured from recyclable materials such as glass metal and some photo polymers enshyvironmental impact can be reduced Selection of Low VOC Matthews Acrylic Base Paint offers eco friendly paint solution Paint that is applied through a specialized high volume low pressure (HVLP) paint applicator sprayer It provides superior color coating with minimal overspray reducing waste and VOCs or volatile organic comshypounds Power reduction can be made by the use of LED lighting LED illumination creates a high brightness that offers reliable illumination providing long lasting light LEDs consume very little energy and are effective in both interior and exterior illumishynated signage

Web Based Technology

Bar CodeTechnology Bar code technology could be utilized to assist with wayfinding For example a barcoded printed appointment card or patient identity card could be scanned at a barcode reader at the point of entry to the building to assist with navigation provide information as to appointment wait times lab work required or just directions to a specific office or departments If the barcode were on a smart phone the phones barcode image could be scanned and through text to speech technology the phone could continue to issue navigational information until the patient arrived at the destination

Mobile Devices Smart Phones

Web-based technologies can have a significant impact on how people interact with VA services and Medical Facilities A web search for services and general informashytion is often the first step for a visit of the facility Integration of the website with GPS Technology such as driving directions and pedestrian wayfinding and navigation can help to create a positive visit to the VA Web bases tools are changing the way we gather information plan a doctor visit scheduling appointments and fill preshyscriptions A VA Visit can be organized from finding a parking space arriving at the proper entrance to walking to a doctorrsquos office or medical department This techshynology will only assist thoughts clients with web access If a client does not have personal web access an interactive kiosk could be located at the main entry of the facility to provide navigational instructions or print out a map

ldquoIn the Fall of 2011 approximately 25 of cell phone users had smart phones It is projected that by 2113 50 of phones will be smartphones A growing number of applications (apps) for smart phones have a direct impact on wayfinding and signage Though this technology may not reach all VA patients and visitors cell phones are a growing segment of VA users Mobile apps can assist with directions appointments health information events and medical educationrdquo

RFID

Radio-Frequency Identification Device

ldquoRadio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) tag is a small electronic tag that stores transmits and receives information The RFID tag includes a small RF transshymitter and receiver An RFID reader transmits an encoded radio signal to interrogate the tag The tag receives the message and responds with its identification informashytion Many RFID tags do not use a battery Instead the tag uses the radio energy transmitted by the reader as its energy source The RFID system design includes a method of discriminating several tags that might be within the range of the RFID readerrdquo

ndash Wikipedia

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that uses radio waves to transfer data from an electronic tag called RFID tag or label attached to an object through a reader for the purpose of identifying and tracking the object Some RFID tags can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight of the readshyer The application of bulk reading enables an almost-parallel reading of tags

Appointment cards could be issued with RFI tags RFID readers could be installed at key intersections with in the Hospital An appointment card is scanned and direcshytional instructions are issued to help patients navigate the facility A central scanner could be located at a main Info desk to issue directional instructions

ldquoRadio frequency identification is a powerful emerging technology that enables companies to achieve total business visibility By knowing the identity location and conditions of assets tools inventory people and more companies can optimize business processes and reduce operational costsrdquo

bull Resistive A resistive touchscreen panel is composed of several layers the most important of which are two thin electrically conductive layers separated by a narrow gap When an object such as a finger presses down on a point on the panelrsquos outer surface the two metallic layers become connected at that point the panel then behaves as a pair of voltage dividers with connected outputs This causes a change in the electrical current which is registered as a touch event and sent to the controller for processing The cover sheet conshysists of a hard outer surface with a coated inner side When the outer layer is touched it causes the conductive layers to touch creating a signal that the analog controller can interpret and determine what the user wants to be done Resistive touch is used in restaurants factories and hospitals due to its high reshysistance to liquids and contaminants A major benefit of resistive touch technolshyogy is it is extremely cost-effective One disadvantage of resistive technology is its vulnerability of being damaged by sharp objects

bull Surface acoustic wave Surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology uses ultrashysonic waves that pass over the touchscreen panel When the panel is touched a portion of the wave is absorbed This change in the ultrasonic waves registers the position of the touch event and sends this information to the controller for processing Surface wave touchscreen panels can be damaged by outside eleshyments Contaminants on the surface can also interfere with the functionality of the touchscreen

bull Capacitive touchscreen of a mobile phone A capacitive touchscreen panel consists of an insulator such as glass coated with a transparent conductor such as indium tin oxide As the human body is also an electrical conductor touching the surface of the screen results in a distortion of the screenrsquos electroshystatic field measurable as a change in capacitance Different technologies may be used to determine the location of the touch The location is then sent to the controller for processing Unlike a resistive touchscreen one cannot use a cashypacitive touchscreen through most types of electrically insulating material such as gloves one requires a special capacitive stylus or a special-application glove with fingertips that generate static electricity This disadvantage espeshycially affects usability in consumer electronics such as touch tablet PCs and capacitive smartphones in cold weather

Touch Screen Applications

An Interactive Kiosk has a touch screen requiring a visitorrsquos interaction The comshybination of voice recognition technology and 3-D animation a kiosk can contain a virtual attendant or an Avatar The Avatar in a kiosk can dispense directional inforshymation in more of an active interaction The Avatar may be programed to ldquoreach out to the visitor and offer assistance prior to a request for information Equipped with speakers receivers and motion sensor the avatar can ldquoreach outrdquo and offer assisshytant and information

Interactive kiosk with a paper print out can provide ldquoold Schoolrdquo maps or directions for visitors As well as maps an interactive kiosk can print marketing material and event schedules Self-service kiosk solution combines cutting edge LCD technology progressive design and proprietary software With virtual Concierge software an unlimited amount of brochures can be displayed on your kiosk as well as a solution for multilingual issues

Illumination

LED

Light Emitting Diode

Emerging Technologies Lighting

The signage industry has been effected by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) and the energy reduction goals for federal agencies put forth in Executive Order 13423 to be adopted in 2012 These new federal standards introduces more aggressive requirements for three key provisions the Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards the Renewable Fuel Standard and the applishyancelighting efficiency standards To comply with these regulations the lighting industry has made advances and changes to illumination products in order to meet lighting efficiency standards Signage fabricators have adopted new illumination products offered by the lighting industry by shifting from the use of incandescent and fluorescent illumination to the more efficient halogen or LED illumination to meet economic ecological and regulatory goals

LEDs present many advantages over incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption longer lifetime improved robustness smaller size faster switching and greater durability and reliability LEDs powerful enough for room lighting are relatively expensive and require more precise current and heat manageshyment than compact fluorescent lamp sources of comparable output

LED flood lights powered by solar and battery back up are a good solutions for exshyterior signage and DOT road sign illumination LED solar with battery backup and power control systems technologies continues to make improvements in brightness longevity reliability and durability As these technologies advance more products will become available for commercial exterior illuminated signage applications The solar power systems with battery backup will extend illumination capabilities beshyyond 6 to 8 hour run times even on cloudy days LED illumination with solar power require no line voltage digging trenching and can be located in remote locations with limited scheduled maintenance for up to five years The ultra light bright and efficient LED fixtures continue to yield economic and safety benefits to illuminated exterior signage

Solar Illumination Current and emergent photovoltaic technologies make solar powered sign illuminashytion possible and practical

Photovoltaic Solar power supply in conjunction with LED illumination and electronic controls systems which integrated multi power sources can lend to a reliable and predictable power supply for illuminated signage Advancements are continually being made in both photovoltaic technology and sophisticated power management systems Battery backup of solar power source can be effective solution for remote stand-alone signage needs

While utilizing solar for powering illuminated signage can currently be accomshyplished there are certain challenges to be addressed for real time practical applicashytion particularly in the form of batteries As energy collection with solar panels imshyproves and new power management systems are developed along with LEDrsquos with higher light output and low electrical consumption batteries are and will remain the cornerstone of the system that needs development to allow installations to beshycome truly viable Look for many changes in this area in the upcoming years

Printing

Wide Format Printers

Emerging Technologies Digital Printing

In the past signage was painted or silk-screened graphics Advancements in digital printing continue to be make an impact on how signage is produced and designed Digital prints of maps for directories can be more colorful and pictorial The low cost of digital prints makes updates and changeable graphics possible Temporary signs and banners are cost effective weatherproof and can be produced quickly

The combination of technological advances in the materials or substrates to print on the inks and dyes to print with the digital printers and cutting equipment with-which to produce graphic continues to make marked improvement and increased signage capabilities The substrates in which stable images can be printed on has expanded Premium cast vinyl film designed for long-term outdoor signage is a flexible material for vehicle wraps Perforated material having a see through quality for windowbus wraps allow graphic to be placed on busses buildings windows elevator doors and almost any surface The difference of this enhanced resolution by high quality printers is unmistakable High-definition output is both brilliant and eye-catching Die sublimation is a printing process that allows for ink to penetrate various fabrics from very sheer see-through silks to UV stable inks on heavy awshyning canvas The Die-sub process has again expanded how and where a designer is able to place graphics

Large format printers printers with increasing resolution DPI (dots per inch) and printer speed impact graphic solutions and cost of on site graphics Large format printers can print on rolled paper or fabric of increasing widths Where once billshyboards where painted by hand now digital graphics can wrap an entire buildings Fabrication and computer controlled cutting technology allows for high production fabrication runs of fairly complex shapes All these production technologies are continually changing and advancing allowing for design solutions for signage to be cost effective and more creative

ldquoWide Format printers (contrast to vector-rendering plotters) are generally accepted to be any printer with a print width between 17 and 100 Printers over the 100rdquo mark may be called Super-Wide or Grand format Wide format printers are used to print banners posters and general signage and in some cases may be more ecoshynomical than short-run methods such as screen-printing Wide format printers genshyerally use a roll of print material rather than individual sheets and may incorporate hot-air dryers to prevent prints from sticking to themselves as they are producedrdquo

Digital Printing Categories

Digital printing is categorized according to ink used

bull Aqueous Thermal or Piezo inkjet printers using ink known as aqueous or water-based The term ldquowater baserdquo is a generally accepted misnomer The pigment is held in a non-reactive carrier solution that is sometimes water and other times a substitute liquid including a soy based liquid used by Kodak Aqueous ink generally comes in two flavors Dye and UV (alternatively known as pigment) Dye ink is high color low UV-resistant variety that offers the widest color gamut UV ink is generally duller in color but withstands fading from UV rays Similar in general principal to desktop inkjet printers Finished prints usshying dye inks must be laminated to protect them if they are to be used outdoors while prints using UV inks can be used outdoors un-laminated for a limited time Various materials are available including canvases banners metabolized plasshytic and cloth Aqueous technology requires that all materials be properly coated to accept and hold the ink

Printing Emerging Technologies Digital Printing and Laminates

bull Solvent ink This term is used to describe any ink that is not water-based Piezo inkjet printers whose inks use petroleum or a petroleum by-product such as acetone as its carrier liquid ldquoEco-solventrdquo inks usually contain glycol esters or glycol ether esters and are slower drying The resulting prints are waterproof Solvent inks may be used to print directly on uncoated vinyl and other media as well as ridged substrates such as Foam Board and PVC

bull Dye sublimation Inks are diffused into the special print media to produce continuous-tone prints of photographic quality

bull UV Piezo inkjet printers whose inks are UV-curable (dry when cured with UV light) The resulting prints are waterproof embossed and vibrant Any media material can be used in this technology polymer made media are best Ceramics glass metals and woods are also used with printing with this technology Important features of these UV-stable polyester films include low transmission of ultraviolet light high mechanical strength and good dimensional stability They also enable good adhesive bond strength to be achieved in coating printing and laminating The UV resistant ldquoHOSTAPHANreg Protective Filmsrdquo from Mitsubishi Polyester Film GmbH are biaxially oriented films made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) These polyester films offer good weathering resistance and very high absorption of UV radiation

ndash Alpha Imaging Wikipedia

Laminate Types The end result of digital printing is not always a flexible product Digital prints can be laminated on substrates to produce ridged panel graphics This type of product is excellent for out door use or interior high traffic wall panel installations Graphics with laminate protection extends the durability of a graphic panel with vandal resisshytant UV stable and waterproof qualities Below are some of the laminate options available in the sign industry

ndash Artcraft

bull Matte laminates Matte laminates provide the most protection against surface glare from lights The frosted surface however can make colors appear less intense and some brands are more susceptible to scratching Gloss laminates make colors appear vivid and bright but have serious glare problems and can scratch easily as well Often the best compromise is a lustre (satin) laminate It allows good color quality and minimizes glare

bull Graffiti-resistant laminates Graffiti-resistant laminates are made of a Teflon-like substance and allow for spray paint and felt pens to be washed right off The toughest come in high-gloss only These products cannot be used in conshyjunction with any plastic substrates There are serious compatibility issues

bull Scratch-resistant laminates Scratch-resistant laminates have textured surshyfaces The greater the texture the tougher the laminate but the more the color and image quality are compromised Polycarbonate laminates are the toughest of these but are too thick for edge-wrapping

bull Hot laminates Hot laminates become rigid when they cool The thicker the film the more rigid it becomes Standard thicknesses are 3 mil 5 mil and 10 mil 10 mil on both sides of a print becomes 20 mil when heated together These laminates have no UV rating donrsquot work well outdoors and donrsquot stick well to many types of digital prints This necessitates leaving an overlap of laminate around the edge of the print to seal it all in (known as encapsulation) Hot lamishynates are also available in matte or gloss

Printing Emerging Technologies Advancements in Cutting Routing and Milling

Graphic Image Digital Laminate

Routing

By far the most advanced technologically Graphic Imaging is a custom print option that captures full color photographic images Graphic Imaging can replicate images created on computer or designs that can be scanned electronically Since graphic image process is a full color reproduction the appearance of the print presents itself in a digital format Image resolution of 300 dpi or higher can produce clear images on a large finished replication One of the key factors to keep in mind about graphic image production is that a vendor can only reproduce the quality of what is given to then For example if the only available artwork is a faxed copy of a copy then our finished laminate will only duplicate that art In some cases Some vendors can recreate artwork images however this is time consuming and expensive to accomplish

Graphic panels do not need to be rectangles any more With the advancement in computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting systems the complexity of the cut shape is no longer a major design concern Most production runs for ridged panel substrates are done on various CNC cutting tables with plasma waterjet or milling and routing capabilities

A CNC Router is a numerical control tool that cuts objects from wood or plastic Parts of a project can be designed in the computer with a CADCAM program and then cut automatically using a router to produce a finished part The CNC router works like a printer Work is composed on a computer and then the design or drawshying is sent to the CNC router for the hard copy This outputs a 3-dimensional copy of the work The CNC router uses a cutting tool following the vector based computer instructions in Cartesian coordinate system (X Y Z) for 3D motion control This gives the computer a printer-like ability to drive a CNC machine to make dimensionshyal letters and other sign parts

Cutting Plasma Cutting is a process that is used to cut steel and other metals of different thicknesses (or sometimes other materials) using a plasma torch In this process an inert gas (in some units compressed air) is blown at high speed out of a nozzle at the same time an electrical arc is formed through that gas from the nozzle to the surface being cut turning some of that gas to plasma The plasma is sufficiently hot to melt the metal being cut and moves sufficiently fast to blow molten metal away from the cut Plasma is an effective means of cutting thin and thick materials alike Hand-held torches can usually cut up to 2 inches (51 mm) thick steel plate and stronger computer-controlled torches can cut steel up to 6 inches (150 mm) thick Since plasma cutters produce a very hot and very localized ldquoconerdquo to cut with they are extremely useful for cutting sheet metal in curved or angled shapes

Freehand Cut of a Thick Steel Plate The HF Contact type uses a high frequency high-voltage spark to ionize the air through the torch head and initiate an arc These require the torch to be in contact with the job material when starting and so are not suitable for applications involving computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting

The Pilot Arc type uses a two-cycle approach to producing plasma avoiding the need for initial contact First a high-voltage low current circuit is used to initialize a very small high-intensity spark within the torch body thereby generating a small pocket of plasma gas This is referred to as the pilot arc The pilot arc has a return electrical path built into the torch head The pilot arc will maintain itself until it is brought into proximity of the work piece where it ignites the main plasma-cutting arc Plasma arcs are extremely hot and are in the range of 25000 degC (45000 degF)

Water Jet Cutting

ldquoThe water jet is unparalleled in many aspects of cutting and has changed the way many products are manufactured Many types of water jets exist today including pure water jets (water only) abrasive water jets percussive water jets cavitation jets and hybrid jets Operation of the cutter is commonly connected to a high-presshysure water pump where the water is then ejected from the nozzle cutting through the material by spraying it with the jet of high-speed water Additives in the form of suspended grit or other abrasives such as garnet and aluminum oxide can assist in this process

An important benefit of the water jet cutter is the ability to cut material without intershyfering with the materialrsquos inherent structure as there is no ldquoheat-affected zonerdquo Water jet cutters are also capable of producing rather intricate cuts in material With speshycialized software and 3-D machining heads complex 3-D shapes can be produced

Advances in control and motion technology 5-axis water jet cutting (abrasive and pure) has become a reality

Water jet is considered a ldquogreenrdquo technology Water jets produce no hazardous waste reducing waste disposal costs They can cut off large pieces of reusable scrap material that might have been lost using traditional cutting methods Parts can be closely nested to maximize material use and the water jet saves material by creating very little kerf Water jets use very little water (a half gallon to approximately one gallon per minute depending on cutting head orifice size) and the water that is used can be recycled using a closed-looped system Wastewater usually is clean enough to filter and dispose of down a drain The garnet abrasive is a non-toxic natural substance that can be recycled for repeated use Garnet usually can be disposed of in a landfill Water jets also eliminate airborne dust particles smoke fumes and contaminants from cutting materials such as asbestos and fiberglass This greatly improves the work environment and reduces problems arising from operator exposurerdquo

Photo Polymer

Advancements in Materials

ldquoA photopolymer is a polymer that changes its properties when exposed to light often in the ultraviolet spectrum These polymers are useful in dentistry for fillings and in rapid prototyping in the stereo lithography and 3D printing processes In the past this material was also used in the creation of ABAADA compliant Architectural Signage However the photo polymer does NOT produce a domed Braille dot And an application of paint to form the dome is required This material also used as a relief plate for flexographic printing can be used in plastics paper labels and sign inserts Some commercial brands worldwide include DuPont Cyrel BASF Nyloflex Novacryl Elaslon McDermid and Soleflex Exaprint

The basic material is soft and light sensitive A selective exposure to UV lamps is then applied then developed and cured the procedure involves exposing image wise a photopolymerizable element to actinic radiation emitting at a wavelength in the range of 365 nm removing the unexposed or unpolymerized areas of the plate with solvent drying the resulting plate The photopolymerized element can then be detackified by exposing the element to UV radiation emitting a wavelength in the range of 254 nm To ensure final plate hardening and photopolymerization the printing element can be further post-exposed to radiation emitting at wavelengths in the range of 365 nm

Introduction Sustainability

Sustainability Executive Order (EO) 13514 ldquoFederal Leadership in Environmental Energy and Economic Performancerdquo was signed by President Obama on 5 October 2009 This EO does not rescindeliminate the requirements of EO 13423 Instead it expands on the energy reduction and environmental performance requirements for Federal agencies identified in EO 13423

The goal of EO 13514 is ldquoto establish an integrated strategy towards sustainability in the Federal Government and to make reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) a priority for Federal agenciesrdquo

Towards meeting that goal Federal agencies are required to meet a series of deadshylines critical to achieving the GHG reduction goals of the EO This EO also sets non-numerical targets that agencies must reach The full text of the required targets and strategies can be found within Executive Order 13514

Green Strategies for Signs

Signs in and of themselves are not an item that can be considered ldquogreenrdquo or a LEEDreg product or product created from materials that are recycled However there are many elements related to signs that can contribute to accomplishing a green strategy for signs

bull Look into working with a sign company that does environmentally responsible production

Ask what programs a company has in place for things like solvent use reducshytion water conservation disposal and recycling of manufacturing waste and by products Do they use low VOC paints do they use T5 or T8 bulbs in building ilshyluminated signs do they build illuminated signs and letters with LED lighting do they install signs on the wall with mechanical fasteners instead of glue

bull Analyze the various elements of the design fabrication installation and product life cycle to eliminate materials and methods that are contrary to the intent of sustainability

Look toward the use of durable materials that fit a signs application or location in order to extend the life of the sign Implement a design that allows for signing to be updated with discarding the entire sign Select materials that will not deteshyriate from weather or environmental conditions

Utilize signs that are constructed from a component based system that allows for message modification and that can incorporate changes without have to reshyplace the entire sign Recycle signs whenever possible

bull A sign program can aid in the qualifications of a building for a LEEDreg rating

A sign program can be developed that educates the public on the benefits of a green building It can highlight and identify elements systems and materials of a building that specifically contribute to the LEEDreg rating

bull Look specifically at materials involved in producing signs

A material such as aluminum is commonly used in signs can be recycled This is a better material selection than say wood even considering that wood is also a product that can be recycled The life cycle of a wood sign is considerably shorter than a sign made of aluminum so it enters the ldquowaste streamrdquo sooner

This section in the Design Guide delves into emerging technologies in relation to a point in time late 2012 With the fast pace of developing products and manufacturshying the following gives a brief overview and projections that will only be valid for a short period of time forward To gain a current look at the items discussed it is recommended that additional research be conducted on the subjects at the time of reading

In preparing this section various comments descriptions topics and write-ups from informational news sources internet sources and company sources function as resources and are put forth to provide an overview but with all types of emergshying technologies change is constant so this sections purpose is just to create an awareness In addition in the upcoming months and years new devices and methshyodologies will come forth that are totally unknown at the present time so one needs to constantly keep researching whatrsquos new The following section is to help one get started

Advancements in various industries continue to improve the quality and effectiveshyness of signage It is not necessarily technological advancements in any one singular industry but the overlapping convergence of different technologies in comshybination with one another that have allowed for large improvements in the signage industry Innovations in material science such as the development of UV resistant materials or improvement in LED- lighting technology have a positive effect on product durability and reduce power consumption Animated and interactive way-finding systems have seen marked change due to technological advances in the computer and telecommunications industries As these various industries continue to provide innovative solutions for complex wayfinding issues signage solutions and designs will become more efficient effective and less expensive than in the past

Various and diverse industries often evolve towards similar goals As a result convergence of previously separate technologies such as voice (and telephony features) data (and productivity applications) and GPS technology create new effishyciencies These emerging technologies represent progressive development that can separately and together yield innovative and a creative wayfinding solutions and create a positive and efficient visits to the VA At the time of this writing computer tablet and innovative software technologies are producing interesting products and applications that may influence and effect wayfinding

Though research and psychological studies behavioral science continues to gain a better understanding of human behavior Being lost or not being able to find your destination is a stressful and undesirable experience in any medical facility Integrating an advanced understanding of human behavior with emerging technoloshygies may yield appropriate solution for some wayfinding issues Not all VA visitors and patients feel comfortable navigating hallways using GPS rather than asking for help and directions Interactive kiosks may be effective with one demographic group of users and not other Each VA site will need to evaluate the best signage solution for its visitors and patients Technology is not intended to replace volunteers and trashyditional signage but may assist with an alternative method of delivering information and directions

LEEDreg

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design

Sustainable Design

LEEDreg is an acronym for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design The LEEDreg green building certification system is the preeminent program for rating the design construction and operation of green buildings LEEDreg is a voluntary consensus-based national standard for developing high-performance sustainable (ldquogreenrdquo) buildings

By using less energy LEEDreg-certified buildings save money for individuals busishynesses and taxpayers reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to a healthier environment for residents workers and the larger community Emerging Technology is continually being challenged to meet the building industries ldquogreenrdquo goal The demand for green products is driving changes in material and fabrication Sustainable or ldquogreen buildingrdquo design and construction is the opportunity to use our resources more efficiently while creating healthier and more energy-efficient homes Although there is no magic formula success comes in the form of leaving a lighter footprint on the environment through conservation of resources while at the same time balancing energy-efficient cost-effective low-maintenance products for our construction needs In other words green building design involves achieving the delicate balance between building and the sustainable environment

Obtaining LEEDreg certification requires compliance with a minimum number of crishyteria affecting many aspects of a project from site selection to the recycled content of building materials While participation in the LEEDreg program has been mostly voluntary some government entities require that publicly funded projects apply for LEEDreg certification and other states and communities are considering this

Sign materials and fabrication methods can be ldquogreenrdquo Use of recycled materials for the substrate will help reduce environmental impact If a sign substrate is manufacshytured from recyclable materials such as glass metal and some photo polymers enshyvironmental impact can be reduced Selection of Low VOC Matthews Acrylic Base Paint offers eco friendly paint solution Paint that is applied through a specialized high volume low pressure (HVLP) paint applicator sprayer It provides superior color coating with minimal overspray reducing waste and VOCs or volatile organic comshypounds Power reduction can be made by the use of LED lighting LED illumination creates a high brightness that offers reliable illumination providing long lasting light LEDs consume very little energy and are effective in both interior and exterior illumishynated signage

bull Resistive A resistive touchscreen panel is composed of several layers the most important of which are two thin electrically conductive layers separated by a narrow gap When an object such as a finger presses down on a point on the panelrsquos outer surface the two metallic layers become connected at that point the panel then behaves as a pair of voltage dividers with connected outputs This causes a change in the electrical current which is registered as a touch event and sent to the controller for processing The cover sheet conshysists of a hard outer surface with a coated inner side When the outer layer is touched it causes the conductive layers to touch creating a signal that the analog controller can interpret and determine what the user wants to be done Resistive touch is used in restaurants factories and hospitals due to its high reshysistance to liquids and contaminants A major benefit of resistive touch technolshyogy is it is extremely cost-effective One disadvantage of resistive technology is its vulnerability of being damaged by sharp objects

bull Surface acoustic wave Surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology uses ultrashysonic waves that pass over the touchscreen panel When the panel is touched a portion of the wave is absorbed This change in the ultrasonic waves registers the position of the touch event and sends this information to the controller for processing Surface wave touchscreen panels can be damaged by outside eleshyments Contaminants on the surface can also interfere with the functionality of the touchscreen

bull Capacitive touchscreen of a mobile phone A capacitive touchscreen panel consists of an insulator such as glass coated with a transparent conductor such as indium tin oxide As the human body is also an electrical conductor touching the surface of the screen results in a distortion of the screenrsquos electroshystatic field measurable as a change in capacitance Different technologies may be used to determine the location of the touch The location is then sent to the controller for processing Unlike a resistive touchscreen one cannot use a cashypacitive touchscreen through most types of electrically insulating material such as gloves one requires a special capacitive stylus or a special-application glove with fingertips that generate static electricity This disadvantage espeshycially affects usability in consumer electronics such as touch tablet PCs and capacitive smartphones in cold weather

Touch Screen Applications

An Interactive Kiosk has a touch screen requiring a visitorrsquos interaction The comshybination of voice recognition technology and 3-D animation a kiosk can contain a virtual attendant or an Avatar The Avatar in a kiosk can dispense directional inforshymation in more of an active interaction The Avatar may be programed to ldquoreach out to the visitor and offer assistance prior to a request for information Equipped with speakers receivers and motion sensor the avatar can ldquoreach outrdquo and offer assisshytant and information

Light Emitting Diode

Emerging Technologies Lighting

The signage industry has been effected by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) and the energy reduction goals for federal agencies put forth in Executive Order 13423 to be adopted in 2012 These new federal standards introduces more aggressive requirements for three key provisions the Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards the Renewable Fuel Standard and the applishyancelighting efficiency standards To comply with these regulations the lighting industry has made advances and changes to illumination products in order to meet lighting efficiency standards Signage fabricators have adopted new illumination products offered by the lighting industry by shifting from the use of incandescent and fluorescent illumination to the more efficient halogen or LED illumination to meet economic ecological and regulatory goals

LEDs present many advantages over incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption longer lifetime improved robustness smaller size faster switching and greater durability and reliability LEDs powerful enough for room lighting are relatively expensive and require more precise current and heat manageshyment than compact fluorescent lamp sources of comparable output

LED flood lights powered by solar and battery back up are a good solutions for exshyterior signage and DOT road sign illumination LED solar with battery backup and power control systems technologies continues to make improvements in brightness longevity reliability and durability As these technologies advance more products will become available for commercial exterior illuminated signage applications The solar power systems with battery backup will extend illumination capabilities beshyyond 6 to 8 hour run times even on cloudy days LED illumination with solar power require no line voltage digging trenching and can be located in remote locations with limited scheduled maintenance for up to five years The ultra light bright and efficient LED fixtures continue to yield economic and safety benefits to illuminated exterior signage

Solar Illumination Current and emergent photovoltaic technologies make solar powered sign illuminashytion possible and practical

Photovoltaic Solar power supply in conjunction with LED illumination and electronic controls systems which integrated multi power sources can lend to a reliable and predictable power supply for illuminated signage Advancements are continually being made in both photovoltaic technology and sophisticated power management systems Battery backup of solar power source can be effective solution for remote stand-alone signage needs

While utilizing solar for powering illuminated signage can currently be accomshyplished there are certain challenges to be addressed for real time practical applicashytion particularly in the form of batteries As energy collection with solar panels imshyproves and new power management systems are developed along with LEDrsquos with higher light output and low electrical consumption batteries are and will remain the cornerstone of the system that needs development to allow installations to beshycome truly viable Look for many changes in this area in the upcoming years

Printing

Wide Format Printers

Emerging Technologies Digital Printing

In the past signage was painted or silk-screened graphics Advancements in digital printing continue to be make an impact on how signage is produced and designed Digital prints of maps for directories can be more colorful and pictorial The low cost of digital prints makes updates and changeable graphics possible Temporary signs and banners are cost effective weatherproof and can be produced quickly

The combination of technological advances in the materials or substrates to print on the inks and dyes to print with the digital printers and cutting equipment with-which to produce graphic continues to make marked improvement and increased signage capabilities The substrates in which stable images can be printed on has expanded Premium cast vinyl film designed for long-term outdoor signage is a flexible material for vehicle wraps Perforated material having a see through quality for windowbus wraps allow graphic to be placed on busses buildings windows elevator doors and almost any surface The difference of this enhanced resolution by high quality printers is unmistakable High-definition output is both brilliant and eye-catching Die sublimation is a printing process that allows for ink to penetrate various fabrics from very sheer see-through silks to UV stable inks on heavy awshyning canvas The Die-sub process has again expanded how and where a designer is able to place graphics

Large format printers printers with increasing resolution DPI (dots per inch) and printer speed impact graphic solutions and cost of on site graphics Large format printers can print on rolled paper or fabric of increasing widths Where once billshyboards where painted by hand now digital graphics can wrap an entire buildings Fabrication and computer controlled cutting technology allows for high production fabrication runs of fairly complex shapes All these production technologies are continually changing and advancing allowing for design solutions for signage to be cost effective and more creative

ldquoWide Format printers (contrast to vector-rendering plotters) are generally accepted to be any printer with a print width between 17 and 100 Printers over the 100rdquo mark may be called Super-Wide or Grand format Wide format printers are used to print banners posters and general signage and in some cases may be more ecoshynomical than short-run methods such as screen-printing Wide format printers genshyerally use a roll of print material rather than individual sheets and may incorporate hot-air dryers to prevent prints from sticking to themselves as they are producedrdquo

Digital Printing Categories

Digital printing is categorized according to ink used

bull Aqueous Thermal or Piezo inkjet printers using ink known as aqueous or water-based The term ldquowater baserdquo is a generally accepted misnomer The pigment is held in a non-reactive carrier solution that is sometimes water and other times a substitute liquid including a soy based liquid used by Kodak Aqueous ink generally comes in two flavors Dye and UV (alternatively known as pigment) Dye ink is high color low UV-resistant variety that offers the widest color gamut UV ink is generally duller in color but withstands fading from UV rays Similar in general principal to desktop inkjet printers Finished prints usshying dye inks must be laminated to protect them if they are to be used outdoors while prints using UV inks can be used outdoors un-laminated for a limited time Various materials are available including canvases banners metabolized plasshytic and cloth Aqueous technology requires that all materials be properly coated to accept and hold the ink

Printing Emerging Technologies Digital Printing and Laminates

bull Solvent ink This term is used to describe any ink that is not water-based Piezo inkjet printers whose inks use petroleum or a petroleum by-product such as acetone as its carrier liquid ldquoEco-solventrdquo inks usually contain glycol esters or glycol ether esters and are slower drying The resulting prints are waterproof Solvent inks may be used to print directly on uncoated vinyl and other media as well as ridged substrates such as Foam Board and PVC

bull Dye sublimation Inks are diffused into the special print media to produce continuous-tone prints of photographic quality

bull UV Piezo inkjet printers whose inks are UV-curable (dry when cured with UV light) The resulting prints are waterproof embossed and vibrant Any media material can be used in this technology polymer made media are best Ceramics glass metals and woods are also used with printing with this technology Important features of these UV-stable polyester films include low transmission of ultraviolet light high mechanical strength and good dimensional stability They also enable good adhesive bond strength to be achieved in coating printing and laminating The UV resistant ldquoHOSTAPHANreg Protective Filmsrdquo from Mitsubishi Polyester Film GmbH are biaxially oriented films made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) These polyester films offer good weathering resistance and very high absorption of UV radiation

ndash Alpha Imaging Wikipedia

Laminate Types The end result of digital printing is not always a flexible product Digital prints can be laminated on substrates to produce ridged panel graphics This type of product is excellent for out door use or interior high traffic wall panel installations Graphics with laminate protection extends the durability of a graphic panel with vandal resisshytant UV stable and waterproof qualities Below are some of the laminate options available in the sign industry

ndash Artcraft

bull Matte laminates Matte laminates provide the most protection against surface glare from lights The frosted surface however can make colors appear less intense and some brands are more susceptible to scratching Gloss laminates make colors appear vivid and bright but have serious glare problems and can scratch easily as well Often the best compromise is a lustre (satin) laminate It allows good color quality and minimizes glare

bull Graffiti-resistant laminates Graffiti-resistant laminates are made of a Teflon-like substance and allow for spray paint and felt pens to be washed right off The toughest come in high-gloss only These products cannot be used in conshyjunction with any plastic substrates There are serious compatibility issues

bull Scratch-resistant laminates Scratch-resistant laminates have textured surshyfaces The greater the texture the tougher the laminate but the more the color and image quality are compromised Polycarbonate laminates are the toughest of these but are too thick for edge-wrapping

bull Hot laminates Hot laminates become rigid when they cool The thicker the film the more rigid it becomes Standard thicknesses are 3 mil 5 mil and 10 mil 10 mil on both sides of a print becomes 20 mil when heated together These laminates have no UV rating donrsquot work well outdoors and donrsquot stick well to many types of digital prints This necessitates leaving an overlap of laminate around the edge of the print to seal it all in (known as encapsulation) Hot lamishynates are also available in matte or gloss

Printing Emerging Technologies Advancements in Cutting Routing and Milling

Graphic Image Digital Laminate

Routing

By far the most advanced technologically Graphic Imaging is a custom print option that captures full color photographic images Graphic Imaging can replicate images created on computer or designs that can be scanned electronically Since graphic image process is a full color reproduction the appearance of the print presents itself in a digital format Image resolution of 300 dpi or higher can produce clear images on a large finished replication One of the key factors to keep in mind about graphic image production is that a vendor can only reproduce the quality of what is given to then For example if the only available artwork is a faxed copy of a copy then our finished laminate will only duplicate that art In some cases Some vendors can recreate artwork images however this is time consuming and expensive to accomplish

Graphic panels do not need to be rectangles any more With the advancement in computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting systems the complexity of the cut shape is no longer a major design concern Most production runs for ridged panel substrates are done on various CNC cutting tables with plasma waterjet or milling and routing capabilities

A CNC Router is a numerical control tool that cuts objects from wood or plastic Parts of a project can be designed in the computer with a CADCAM program and then cut automatically using a router to produce a finished part The CNC router works like a printer Work is composed on a computer and then the design or drawshying is sent to the CNC router for the hard copy This outputs a 3-dimensional copy of the work The CNC router uses a cutting tool following the vector based computer instructions in Cartesian coordinate system (X Y Z) for 3D motion control This gives the computer a printer-like ability to drive a CNC machine to make dimensionshyal letters and other sign parts

Cutting Plasma Cutting is a process that is used to cut steel and other metals of different thicknesses (or sometimes other materials) using a plasma torch In this process an inert gas (in some units compressed air) is blown at high speed out of a nozzle at the same time an electrical arc is formed through that gas from the nozzle to the surface being cut turning some of that gas to plasma The plasma is sufficiently hot to melt the metal being cut and moves sufficiently fast to blow molten metal away from the cut Plasma is an effective means of cutting thin and thick materials alike Hand-held torches can usually cut up to 2 inches (51 mm) thick steel plate and stronger computer-controlled torches can cut steel up to 6 inches (150 mm) thick Since plasma cutters produce a very hot and very localized ldquoconerdquo to cut with they are extremely useful for cutting sheet metal in curved or angled shapes

Freehand Cut of a Thick Steel Plate The HF Contact type uses a high frequency high-voltage spark to ionize the air through the torch head and initiate an arc These require the torch to be in contact with the job material when starting and so are not suitable for applications involving computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting

The Pilot Arc type uses a two-cycle approach to producing plasma avoiding the need for initial contact First a high-voltage low current circuit is used to initialize a very small high-intensity spark within the torch body thereby generating a small pocket of plasma gas This is referred to as the pilot arc The pilot arc has a return electrical path built into the torch head The pilot arc will maintain itself until it is brought into proximity of the work piece where it ignites the main plasma-cutting arc Plasma arcs are extremely hot and are in the range of 25000 degC (45000 degF)

Water Jet Cutting

ldquoThe water jet is unparalleled in many aspects of cutting and has changed the way many products are manufactured Many types of water jets exist today including pure water jets (water only) abrasive water jets percussive water jets cavitation jets and hybrid jets Operation of the cutter is commonly connected to a high-presshysure water pump where the water is then ejected from the nozzle cutting through the material by spraying it with the jet of high-speed water Additives in the form of suspended grit or other abrasives such as garnet and aluminum oxide can assist in this process

An important benefit of the water jet cutter is the ability to cut material without intershyfering with the materialrsquos inherent structure as there is no ldquoheat-affected zonerdquo Water jet cutters are also capable of producing rather intricate cuts in material With speshycialized software and 3-D machining heads complex 3-D shapes can be produced

Advances in control and motion technology 5-axis water jet cutting (abrasive and pure) has become a reality

Water jet is considered a ldquogreenrdquo technology Water jets produce no hazardous waste reducing waste disposal costs They can cut off large pieces of reusable scrap material that might have been lost using traditional cutting methods Parts can be closely nested to maximize material use and the water jet saves material by creating very little kerf Water jets use very little water (a half gallon to approximately one gallon per minute depending on cutting head orifice size) and the water that is used can be recycled using a closed-looped system Wastewater usually is clean enough to filter and dispose of down a drain The garnet abrasive is a non-toxic natural substance that can be recycled for repeated use Garnet usually can be disposed of in a landfill Water jets also eliminate airborne dust particles smoke fumes and contaminants from cutting materials such as asbestos and fiberglass This greatly improves the work environment and reduces problems arising from operator exposurerdquo

Photo Polymer

Advancements in Materials

ldquoA photopolymer is a polymer that changes its properties when exposed to light often in the ultraviolet spectrum These polymers are useful in dentistry for fillings and in rapid prototyping in the stereo lithography and 3D printing processes In the past this material was also used in the creation of ABAADA compliant Architectural Signage However the photo polymer does NOT produce a domed Braille dot And an application of paint to form the dome is required This material also used as a relief plate for flexographic printing can be used in plastics paper labels and sign inserts Some commercial brands worldwide include DuPont Cyrel BASF Nyloflex Novacryl Elaslon McDermid and Soleflex Exaprint

The basic material is soft and light sensitive A selective exposure to UV lamps is then applied then developed and cured the procedure involves exposing image wise a photopolymerizable element to actinic radiation emitting at a wavelength in the range of 365 nm removing the unexposed or unpolymerized areas of the plate with solvent drying the resulting plate The photopolymerized element can then be detackified by exposing the element to UV radiation emitting a wavelength in the range of 254 nm To ensure final plate hardening and photopolymerization the printing element can be further post-exposed to radiation emitting at wavelengths in the range of 365 nm

Introduction Sustainability

Sustainability Executive Order (EO) 13514 ldquoFederal Leadership in Environmental Energy and Economic Performancerdquo was signed by President Obama on 5 October 2009 This EO does not rescindeliminate the requirements of EO 13423 Instead it expands on the energy reduction and environmental performance requirements for Federal agencies identified in EO 13423

The goal of EO 13514 is ldquoto establish an integrated strategy towards sustainability in the Federal Government and to make reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) a priority for Federal agenciesrdquo

Towards meeting that goal Federal agencies are required to meet a series of deadshylines critical to achieving the GHG reduction goals of the EO This EO also sets non-numerical targets that agencies must reach The full text of the required targets and strategies can be found within Executive Order 13514

Green Strategies for Signs

Signs in and of themselves are not an item that can be considered ldquogreenrdquo or a LEEDreg product or product created from materials that are recycled However there are many elements related to signs that can contribute to accomplishing a green strategy for signs

bull Look into working with a sign company that does environmentally responsible production

Ask what programs a company has in place for things like solvent use reducshytion water conservation disposal and recycling of manufacturing waste and by products Do they use low VOC paints do they use T5 or T8 bulbs in building ilshyluminated signs do they build illuminated signs and letters with LED lighting do they install signs on the wall with mechanical fasteners instead of glue

bull Analyze the various elements of the design fabrication installation and product life cycle to eliminate materials and methods that are contrary to the intent of sustainability

Look toward the use of durable materials that fit a signs application or location in order to extend the life of the sign Implement a design that allows for signing to be updated with discarding the entire sign Select materials that will not deteshyriate from weather or environmental conditions

Utilize signs that are constructed from a component based system that allows for message modification and that can incorporate changes without have to reshyplace the entire sign Recycle signs whenever possible

bull A sign program can aid in the qualifications of a building for a LEEDreg rating

A sign program can be developed that educates the public on the benefits of a green building It can highlight and identify elements systems and materials of a building that specifically contribute to the LEEDreg rating

bull Look specifically at materials involved in producing signs

A material such as aluminum is commonly used in signs can be recycled This is a better material selection than say wood even considering that wood is also a product that can be recycled The life cycle of a wood sign is considerably shorter than a sign made of aluminum so it enters the ldquowaste streamrdquo sooner

Introduction Emerging Technologies

Technological Advancements

Psychology and Human Behavior

This section in the Design Guide delves into emerging technologies in relation to a point in time late 2012 With the fast pace of developing products and manufacturshying the following gives a brief overview and projections that will only be valid for a short period of time forward To gain a current look at the items discussed it is recommended that additional research be conducted on the subjects at the time of reading

In preparing this section various comments descriptions topics and write-ups from informational news sources internet sources and company sources function as resources and are put forth to provide an overview but with all types of emergshying technologies change is constant so this sections purpose is just to create an awareness In addition in the upcoming months and years new devices and methshyodologies will come forth that are totally unknown at the present time so one needs to constantly keep researching whatrsquos new The following section is to help one get started

Advancements in various industries continue to improve the quality and effectiveshyness of signage It is not necessarily technological advancements in any one singular industry but the overlapping convergence of different technologies in comshybination with one another that have allowed for large improvements in the signage industry Innovations in material science such as the development of UV resistant materials or improvement in LED- lighting technology have a positive effect on product durability and reduce power consumption Animated and interactive way-finding systems have seen marked change due to technological advances in the computer and telecommunications industries As these various industries continue to provide innovative solutions for complex wayfinding issues signage solutions and designs will become more efficient effective and less expensive than in the past

Various and diverse industries often evolve towards similar goals As a result convergence of previously separate technologies such as voice (and telephony features) data (and productivity applications) and GPS technology create new effishyciencies These emerging technologies represent progressive development that can separately and together yield innovative and a creative wayfinding solutions and create a positive and efficient visits to the VA At the time of this writing computer tablet and innovative software technologies are producing interesting products and applications that may influence and effect wayfinding

Though research and psychological studies behavioral science continues to gain a better understanding of human behavior Being lost or not being able to find your destination is a stressful and undesirable experience in any medical facility Integrating an advanced understanding of human behavior with emerging technoloshygies may yield appropriate solution for some wayfinding issues Not all VA visitors and patients feel comfortable navigating hallways using GPS rather than asking for help and directions Interactive kiosks may be effective with one demographic group of users and not other Each VA site will need to evaluate the best signage solution for its visitors and patients Technology is not intended to replace volunteers and trashyditional signage but may assist with an alternative method of delivering information and directions

LEEDreg

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design

Sustainable Design

LEEDreg is an acronym for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design The LEEDreg green building certification system is the preeminent program for rating the design construction and operation of green buildings LEEDreg is a voluntary consensus-based national standard for developing high-performance sustainable (ldquogreenrdquo) buildings

By using less energy LEEDreg-certified buildings save money for individuals busishynesses and taxpayers reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to a healthier environment for residents workers and the larger community Emerging Technology is continually being challenged to meet the building industries ldquogreenrdquo goal The demand for green products is driving changes in material and fabrication Sustainable or ldquogreen buildingrdquo design and construction is the opportunity to use our resources more efficiently while creating healthier and more energy-efficient homes Although there is no magic formula success comes in the form of leaving a lighter footprint on the environment through conservation of resources while at the same time balancing energy-efficient cost-effective low-maintenance products for our construction needs In other words green building design involves achieving the delicate balance between building and the sustainable environment

Obtaining LEEDreg certification requires compliance with a minimum number of crishyteria affecting many aspects of a project from site selection to the recycled content of building materials While participation in the LEEDreg program has been mostly voluntary some government entities require that publicly funded projects apply for LEEDreg certification and other states and communities are considering this

Sign materials and fabrication methods can be ldquogreenrdquo Use of recycled materials for the substrate will help reduce environmental impact If a sign substrate is manufacshytured from recyclable materials such as glass metal and some photo polymers enshyvironmental impact can be reduced Selection of Low VOC Matthews Acrylic Base Paint offers eco friendly paint solution Paint that is applied through a specialized high volume low pressure (HVLP) paint applicator sprayer It provides superior color coating with minimal overspray reducing waste and VOCs or volatile organic comshypounds Power reduction can be made by the use of LED lighting LED illumination creates a high brightness that offers reliable illumination providing long lasting light LEDs consume very little energy and are effective in both interior and exterior illumishynated signage

bull Resistive A resistive touchscreen panel is composed of several layers the most important of which are two thin electrically conductive layers separated by a narrow gap When an object such as a finger presses down on a point on the panelrsquos outer surface the two metallic layers become connected at that point the panel then behaves as a pair of voltage dividers with connected outputs This causes a change in the electrical current which is registered as a touch event and sent to the controller for processing The cover sheet conshysists of a hard outer surface with a coated inner side When the outer layer is touched it causes the conductive layers to touch creating a signal that the analog controller can interpret and determine what the user wants to be done Resistive touch is used in restaurants factories and hospitals due to its high reshysistance to liquids and contaminants A major benefit of resistive touch technolshyogy is it is extremely cost-effective One disadvantage of resistive technology is its vulnerability of being damaged by sharp objects

bull Surface acoustic wave Surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology uses ultrashysonic waves that pass over the touchscreen panel When the panel is touched a portion of the wave is absorbed This change in the ultrasonic waves registers the position of the touch event and sends this information to the controller for processing Surface wave touchscreen panels can be damaged by outside eleshyments Contaminants on the surface can also interfere with the functionality of the touchscreen

bull Capacitive touchscreen of a mobile phone A capacitive touchscreen panel consists of an insulator such as glass coated with a transparent conductor such as indium tin oxide As the human body is also an electrical conductor touching the surface of the screen results in a distortion of the screenrsquos electroshystatic field measurable as a change in capacitance Different technologies may be used to determine the location of the touch The location is then sent to the controller for processing Unlike a resistive touchscreen one cannot use a cashypacitive touchscreen through most types of electrically insulating material such as gloves one requires a special capacitive stylus or a special-application glove with fingertips that generate static electricity This disadvantage espeshycially affects usability in consumer electronics such as touch tablet PCs and capacitive smartphones in cold weather

Light Emitting Diode

Emerging Technologies Lighting

The signage industry has been effected by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) and the energy reduction goals for federal agencies put forth in Executive Order 13423 to be adopted in 2012 These new federal standards introduces more aggressive requirements for three key provisions the Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards the Renewable Fuel Standard and the applishyancelighting efficiency standards To comply with these regulations the lighting industry has made advances and changes to illumination products in order to meet lighting efficiency standards Signage fabricators have adopted new illumination products offered by the lighting industry by shifting from the use of incandescent and fluorescent illumination to the more efficient halogen or LED illumination to meet economic ecological and regulatory goals

LEDs present many advantages over incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption longer lifetime improved robustness smaller size faster switching and greater durability and reliability LEDs powerful enough for room lighting are relatively expensive and require more precise current and heat manageshyment than compact fluorescent lamp sources of comparable output

LED flood lights powered by solar and battery back up are a good solutions for exshyterior signage and DOT road sign illumination LED solar with battery backup and power control systems technologies continues to make improvements in brightness longevity reliability and durability As these technologies advance more products will become available for commercial exterior illuminated signage applications The solar power systems with battery backup will extend illumination capabilities beshyyond 6 to 8 hour run times even on cloudy days LED illumination with solar power require no line voltage digging trenching and can be located in remote locations with limited scheduled maintenance for up to five years The ultra light bright and efficient LED fixtures continue to yield economic and safety benefits to illuminated exterior signage

Solar Illumination Current and emergent photovoltaic technologies make solar powered sign illuminashytion possible and practical

Photovoltaic Solar power supply in conjunction with LED illumination and electronic controls systems which integrated multi power sources can lend to a reliable and predictable power supply for illuminated signage Advancements are continually being made in both photovoltaic technology and sophisticated power management systems Battery backup of solar power source can be effective solution for remote stand-alone signage needs

While utilizing solar for powering illuminated signage can currently be accomshyplished there are certain challenges to be addressed for real time practical applicashytion particularly in the form of batteries As energy collection with solar panels imshyproves and new power management systems are developed along with LEDrsquos with higher light output and low electrical consumption batteries are and will remain the cornerstone of the system that needs development to allow installations to beshycome truly viable Look for many changes in this area in the upcoming years

Printing

Wide Format Printers

Emerging Technologies Digital Printing

In the past signage was painted or silk-screened graphics Advancements in digital printing continue to be make an impact on how signage is produced and designed Digital prints of maps for directories can be more colorful and pictorial The low cost of digital prints makes updates and changeable graphics possible Temporary signs and banners are cost effective weatherproof and can be produced quickly

The combination of technological advances in the materials or substrates to print on the inks and dyes to print with the digital printers and cutting equipment with-which to produce graphic continues to make marked improvement and increased signage capabilities The substrates in which stable images can be printed on has expanded Premium cast vinyl film designed for long-term outdoor signage is a flexible material for vehicle wraps Perforated material having a see through quality for windowbus wraps allow graphic to be placed on busses buildings windows elevator doors and almost any surface The difference of this enhanced resolution by high quality printers is unmistakable High-definition output is both brilliant and eye-catching Die sublimation is a printing process that allows for ink to penetrate various fabrics from very sheer see-through silks to UV stable inks on heavy awshyning canvas The Die-sub process has again expanded how and where a designer is able to place graphics

Large format printers printers with increasing resolution DPI (dots per inch) and printer speed impact graphic solutions and cost of on site graphics Large format printers can print on rolled paper or fabric of increasing widths Where once billshyboards where painted by hand now digital graphics can wrap an entire buildings Fabrication and computer controlled cutting technology allows for high production fabrication runs of fairly complex shapes All these production technologies are continually changing and advancing allowing for design solutions for signage to be cost effective and more creative

ldquoWide Format printers (contrast to vector-rendering plotters) are generally accepted to be any printer with a print width between 17 and 100 Printers over the 100rdquo mark may be called Super-Wide or Grand format Wide format printers are used to print banners posters and general signage and in some cases may be more ecoshynomical than short-run methods such as screen-printing Wide format printers genshyerally use a roll of print material rather than individual sheets and may incorporate hot-air dryers to prevent prints from sticking to themselves as they are producedrdquo

Digital Printing Categories

Digital printing is categorized according to ink used

bull Aqueous Thermal or Piezo inkjet printers using ink known as aqueous or water-based The term ldquowater baserdquo is a generally accepted misnomer The pigment is held in a non-reactive carrier solution that is sometimes water and other times a substitute liquid including a soy based liquid used by Kodak Aqueous ink generally comes in two flavors Dye and UV (alternatively known as pigment) Dye ink is high color low UV-resistant variety that offers the widest color gamut UV ink is generally duller in color but withstands fading from UV rays Similar in general principal to desktop inkjet printers Finished prints usshying dye inks must be laminated to protect them if they are to be used outdoors while prints using UV inks can be used outdoors un-laminated for a limited time Various materials are available including canvases banners metabolized plasshytic and cloth Aqueous technology requires that all materials be properly coated to accept and hold the ink

Printing Emerging Technologies Digital Printing and Laminates

bull Solvent ink This term is used to describe any ink that is not water-based Piezo inkjet printers whose inks use petroleum or a petroleum by-product such as acetone as its carrier liquid ldquoEco-solventrdquo inks usually contain glycol esters or glycol ether esters and are slower drying The resulting prints are waterproof Solvent inks may be used to print directly on uncoated vinyl and other media as well as ridged substrates such as Foam Board and PVC

bull Dye sublimation Inks are diffused into the special print media to produce continuous-tone prints of photographic quality

bull UV Piezo inkjet printers whose inks are UV-curable (dry when cured with UV light) The resulting prints are waterproof embossed and vibrant Any media material can be used in this technology polymer made media are best Ceramics glass metals and woods are also used with printing with this technology Important features of these UV-stable polyester films include low transmission of ultraviolet light high mechanical strength and good dimensional stability They also enable good adhesive bond strength to be achieved in coating printing and laminating The UV resistant ldquoHOSTAPHANreg Protective Filmsrdquo from Mitsubishi Polyester Film GmbH are biaxially oriented films made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) These polyester films offer good weathering resistance and very high absorption of UV radiation

ndash Alpha Imaging Wikipedia

Laminate Types The end result of digital printing is not always a flexible product Digital prints can be laminated on substrates to produce ridged panel graphics This type of product is excellent for out door use or interior high traffic wall panel installations Graphics with laminate protection extends the durability of a graphic panel with vandal resisshytant UV stable and waterproof qualities Below are some of the laminate options available in the sign industry

ndash Artcraft

bull Matte laminates Matte laminates provide the most protection against surface glare from lights The frosted surface however can make colors appear less intense and some brands are more susceptible to scratching Gloss laminates make colors appear vivid and bright but have serious glare problems and can scratch easily as well Often the best compromise is a lustre (satin) laminate It allows good color quality and minimizes glare

bull Graffiti-resistant laminates Graffiti-resistant laminates are made of a Teflon-like substance and allow for spray paint and felt pens to be washed right off The toughest come in high-gloss only These products cannot be used in conshyjunction with any plastic substrates There are serious compatibility issues

bull Scratch-resistant laminates Scratch-resistant laminates have textured surshyfaces The greater the texture the tougher the laminate but the more the color and image quality are compromised Polycarbonate laminates are the toughest of these but are too thick for edge-wrapping

bull Hot laminates Hot laminates become rigid when they cool The thicker the film the more rigid it becomes Standard thicknesses are 3 mil 5 mil and 10 mil 10 mil on both sides of a print becomes 20 mil when heated together These laminates have no UV rating donrsquot work well outdoors and donrsquot stick well to many types of digital prints This necessitates leaving an overlap of laminate around the edge of the print to seal it all in (known as encapsulation) Hot lamishynates are also available in matte or gloss

Printing Emerging Technologies Advancements in Cutting Routing and Milling

Graphic Image Digital Laminate

Routing

By far the most advanced technologically Graphic Imaging is a custom print option that captures full color photographic images Graphic Imaging can replicate images created on computer or designs that can be scanned electronically Since graphic image process is a full color reproduction the appearance of the print presents itself in a digital format Image resolution of 300 dpi or higher can produce clear images on a large finished replication One of the key factors to keep in mind about graphic image production is that a vendor can only reproduce the quality of what is given to then For example if the only available artwork is a faxed copy of a copy then our finished laminate will only duplicate that art In some cases Some vendors can recreate artwork images however this is time consuming and expensive to accomplish

Graphic panels do not need to be rectangles any more With the advancement in computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting systems the complexity of the cut shape is no longer a major design concern Most production runs for ridged panel substrates are done on various CNC cutting tables with plasma waterjet or milling and routing capabilities

A CNC Router is a numerical control tool that cuts objects from wood or plastic Parts of a project can be designed in the computer with a CADCAM program and then cut automatically using a router to produce a finished part The CNC router works like a printer Work is composed on a computer and then the design or drawshying is sent to the CNC router for the hard copy This outputs a 3-dimensional copy of the work The CNC router uses a cutting tool following the vector based computer instructions in Cartesian coordinate system (X Y Z) for 3D motion control This gives the computer a printer-like ability to drive a CNC machine to make dimensionshyal letters and other sign parts

Cutting Plasma Cutting is a process that is used to cut steel and other metals of different thicknesses (or sometimes other materials) using a plasma torch In this process an inert gas (in some units compressed air) is blown at high speed out of a nozzle at the same time an electrical arc is formed through that gas from the nozzle to the surface being cut turning some of that gas to plasma The plasma is sufficiently hot to melt the metal being cut and moves sufficiently fast to blow molten metal away from the cut Plasma is an effective means of cutting thin and thick materials alike Hand-held torches can usually cut up to 2 inches (51 mm) thick steel plate and stronger computer-controlled torches can cut steel up to 6 inches (150 mm) thick Since plasma cutters produce a very hot and very localized ldquoconerdquo to cut with they are extremely useful for cutting sheet metal in curved or angled shapes

Freehand Cut of a Thick Steel Plate The HF Contact type uses a high frequency high-voltage spark to ionize the air through the torch head and initiate an arc These require the torch to be in contact with the job material when starting and so are not suitable for applications involving computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting

The Pilot Arc type uses a two-cycle approach to producing plasma avoiding the need for initial contact First a high-voltage low current circuit is used to initialize a very small high-intensity spark within the torch body thereby generating a small pocket of plasma gas This is referred to as the pilot arc The pilot arc has a return electrical path built into the torch head The pilot arc will maintain itself until it is brought into proximity of the work piece where it ignites the main plasma-cutting arc Plasma arcs are extremely hot and are in the range of 25000 degC (45000 degF)

Water Jet Cutting

ldquoThe water jet is unparalleled in many aspects of cutting and has changed the way many products are manufactured Many types of water jets exist today including pure water jets (water only) abrasive water jets percussive water jets cavitation jets and hybrid jets Operation of the cutter is commonly connected to a high-presshysure water pump where the water is then ejected from the nozzle cutting through the material by spraying it with the jet of high-speed water Additives in the form of suspended grit or other abrasives such as garnet and aluminum oxide can assist in this process

An important benefit of the water jet cutter is the ability to cut material without intershyfering with the materialrsquos inherent structure as there is no ldquoheat-affected zonerdquo Water jet cutters are also capable of producing rather intricate cuts in material With speshycialized software and 3-D machining heads complex 3-D shapes can be produced

Advances in control and motion technology 5-axis water jet cutting (abrasive and pure) has become a reality

Water jet is considered a ldquogreenrdquo technology Water jets produce no hazardous waste reducing waste disposal costs They can cut off large pieces of reusable scrap material that might have been lost using traditional cutting methods Parts can be closely nested to maximize material use and the water jet saves material by creating very little kerf Water jets use very little water (a half gallon to approximately one gallon per minute depending on cutting head orifice size) and the water that is used can be recycled using a closed-looped system Wastewater usually is clean enough to filter and dispose of down a drain The garnet abrasive is a non-toxic natural substance that can be recycled for repeated use Garnet usually can be disposed of in a landfill Water jets also eliminate airborne dust particles smoke fumes and contaminants from cutting materials such as asbestos and fiberglass This greatly improves the work environment and reduces problems arising from operator exposurerdquo

Photo Polymer

Advancements in Materials

ldquoA photopolymer is a polymer that changes its properties when exposed to light often in the ultraviolet spectrum These polymers are useful in dentistry for fillings and in rapid prototyping in the stereo lithography and 3D printing processes In the past this material was also used in the creation of ABAADA compliant Architectural Signage However the photo polymer does NOT produce a domed Braille dot And an application of paint to form the dome is required This material also used as a relief plate for flexographic printing can be used in plastics paper labels and sign inserts Some commercial brands worldwide include DuPont Cyrel BASF Nyloflex Novacryl Elaslon McDermid and Soleflex Exaprint

The basic material is soft and light sensitive A selective exposure to UV lamps is then applied then developed and cured the procedure involves exposing image wise a photopolymerizable element to actinic radiation emitting at a wavelength in the range of 365 nm removing the unexposed or unpolymerized areas of the plate with solvent drying the resulting plate The photopolymerized element can then be detackified by exposing the element to UV radiation emitting a wavelength in the range of 254 nm To ensure final plate hardening and photopolymerization the printing element can be further post-exposed to radiation emitting at wavelengths in the range of 365 nm

Introduction Sustainability

Sustainability Executive Order (EO) 13514 ldquoFederal Leadership in Environmental Energy and Economic Performancerdquo was signed by President Obama on 5 October 2009 This EO does not rescindeliminate the requirements of EO 13423 Instead it expands on the energy reduction and environmental performance requirements for Federal agencies identified in EO 13423

The goal of EO 13514 is ldquoto establish an integrated strategy towards sustainability in the Federal Government and to make reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) a priority for Federal agenciesrdquo

Towards meeting that goal Federal agencies are required to meet a series of deadshylines critical to achieving the GHG reduction goals of the EO This EO also sets non-numerical targets that agencies must reach The full text of the required targets and strategies can be found within Executive Order 13514

Green Strategies for Signs

Signs in and of themselves are not an item that can be considered ldquogreenrdquo or a LEEDreg product or product created from materials that are recycled However there are many elements related to signs that can contribute to accomplishing a green strategy for signs

bull Look into working with a sign company that does environmentally responsible production

Ask what programs a company has in place for things like solvent use reducshytion water conservation disposal and recycling of manufacturing waste and by products Do they use low VOC paints do they use T5 or T8 bulbs in building ilshyluminated signs do they build illuminated signs and letters with LED lighting do they install signs on the wall with mechanical fasteners instead of glue

bull Analyze the various elements of the design fabrication installation and product life cycle to eliminate materials and methods that are contrary to the intent of sustainability

Look toward the use of durable materials that fit a signs application or location in order to extend the life of the sign Implement a design that allows for signing to be updated with discarding the entire sign Select materials that will not deteshyriate from weather or environmental conditions

Utilize signs that are constructed from a component based system that allows for message modification and that can incorporate changes without have to reshyplace the entire sign Recycle signs whenever possible

bull A sign program can aid in the qualifications of a building for a LEEDreg rating

A sign program can be developed that educates the public on the benefits of a green building It can highlight and identify elements systems and materials of a building that specifically contribute to the LEEDreg rating

bull Look specifically at materials involved in producing signs

A material such as aluminum is commonly used in signs can be recycled This is a better material selection than say wood even considering that wood is also a product that can be recycled The life cycle of a wood sign is considerably shorter than a sign made of aluminum so it enters the ldquowaste streamrdquo sooner

Introduction Emerging Technologies

Technological Advancements

Psychology and Human Behavior

This section in the Design Guide delves into emerging technologies in relation to a point in time late 2012 With the fast pace of developing products and manufacturshying the following gives a brief overview and projections that will only be valid for a short period of time forward To gain a current look at the items discussed it is recommended that additional research be conducted on the subjects at the time of reading

In preparing this section various comments descriptions topics and write-ups from informational news sources internet sources and company sources function as resources and are put forth to provide an overview but with all types of emergshying technologies change is constant so this sections purpose is just to create an awareness In addition in the upcoming months and years new devices and methshyodologies will come forth that are totally unknown at the present time so one needs to constantly keep researching whatrsquos new The following section is to help one get started

Advancements in various industries continue to improve the quality and effectiveshyness of signage It is not necessarily technological advancements in any one singular industry but the overlapping convergence of different technologies in comshybination with one another that have allowed for large improvements in the signage industry Innovations in material science such as the development of UV resistant materials or improvement in LED- lighting technology have a positive effect on product durability and reduce power consumption Animated and interactive way-finding systems have seen marked change due to technological advances in the computer and telecommunications industries As these various industries continue to provide innovative solutions for complex wayfinding issues signage solutions and designs will become more efficient effective and less expensive than in the past

Various and diverse industries often evolve towards similar goals As a result convergence of previously separate technologies such as voice (and telephony features) data (and productivity applications) and GPS technology create new effishyciencies These emerging technologies represent progressive development that can separately and together yield innovative and a creative wayfinding solutions and create a positive and efficient visits to the VA At the time of this writing computer tablet and innovative software technologies are producing interesting products and applications that may influence and effect wayfinding

Though research and psychological studies behavioral science continues to gain a better understanding of human behavior Being lost or not being able to find your destination is a stressful and undesirable experience in any medical facility Integrating an advanced understanding of human behavior with emerging technoloshygies may yield appropriate solution for some wayfinding issues Not all VA visitors and patients feel comfortable navigating hallways using GPS rather than asking for help and directions Interactive kiosks may be effective with one demographic group of users and not other Each VA site will need to evaluate the best signage solution for its visitors and patients Technology is not intended to replace volunteers and trashyditional signage but may assist with an alternative method of delivering information and directions

LEEDreg

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design

Sustainable Design

LEEDreg is an acronym for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design The LEEDreg green building certification system is the preeminent program for rating the design construction and operation of green buildings LEEDreg is a voluntary consensus-based national standard for developing high-performance sustainable (ldquogreenrdquo) buildings

By using less energy LEEDreg-certified buildings save money for individuals busishynesses and taxpayers reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to a healthier environment for residents workers and the larger community Emerging Technology is continually being challenged to meet the building industries ldquogreenrdquo goal The demand for green products is driving changes in material and fabrication Sustainable or ldquogreen buildingrdquo design and construction is the opportunity to use our resources more efficiently while creating healthier and more energy-efficient homes Although there is no magic formula success comes in the form of leaving a lighter footprint on the environment through conservation of resources while at the same time balancing energy-efficient cost-effective low-maintenance products for our construction needs In other words green building design involves achieving the delicate balance between building and the sustainable environment

Obtaining LEEDreg certification requires compliance with a minimum number of crishyteria affecting many aspects of a project from site selection to the recycled content of building materials While participation in the LEEDreg program has been mostly voluntary some government entities require that publicly funded projects apply for LEEDreg certification and other states and communities are considering this

Sign materials and fabrication methods can be ldquogreenrdquo Use of recycled materials for the substrate will help reduce environmental impact If a sign substrate is manufacshytured from recyclable materials such as glass metal and some photo polymers enshyvironmental impact can be reduced Selection of Low VOC Matthews Acrylic Base Paint offers eco friendly paint solution Paint that is applied through a specialized high volume low pressure (HVLP) paint applicator sprayer It provides superior color coating with minimal overspray reducing waste and VOCs or volatile organic comshypounds Power reduction can be made by the use of LED lighting LED illumination creates a high brightness that offers reliable illumination providing long lasting light LEDs consume very little energy and are effective in both interior and exterior illumishynated signage

bull Resistive A resistive touchscreen panel is composed of several layers the most important of which are two thin electrically conductive layers separated by a narrow gap When an object such as a finger presses down on a point on the panelrsquos outer surface the two metallic layers become connected at that point the panel then behaves as a pair of voltage dividers with connected outputs This causes a change in the electrical current which is registered as a touch event and sent to the controller for processing The cover sheet conshysists of a hard outer surface with a coated inner side When the outer layer is touched it causes the conductive layers to touch creating a signal that the analog controller can interpret and determine what the user wants to be done Resistive touch is used in restaurants factories and hospitals due to its high reshysistance to liquids and contaminants A major benefit of resistive touch technolshyogy is it is extremely cost-effective One disadvantage of resistive technology is its vulnerability of being damaged by sharp objects

bull Surface acoustic wave Surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology uses ultrashysonic waves that pass over the touchscreen panel When the panel is touched a portion of the wave is absorbed This change in the ultrasonic waves registers the position of the touch event and sends this information to the controller for processing Surface wave touchscreen panels can be damaged by outside eleshyments Contaminants on the surface can also interfere with the functionality of the touchscreen

bull Capacitive touchscreen of a mobile phone A capacitive touchscreen panel consists of an insulator such as glass coated with a transparent conductor such as indium tin oxide As the human body is also an electrical conductor touching the surface of the screen results in a distortion of the screenrsquos electroshystatic field measurable as a change in capacitance Different technologies may be used to determine the location of the touch The location is then sent to the controller for processing Unlike a resistive touchscreen one cannot use a cashypacitive touchscreen through most types of electrically insulating material such as gloves one requires a special capacitive stylus or a special-application glove with fingertips that generate static electricity This disadvantage espeshycially affects usability in consumer electronics such as touch tablet PCs and capacitive smartphones in cold weather

Touch Screen Applications

An Interactive Kiosk has a touch screen requiring a visitorrsquos interaction The comshybination of voice recognition technology and 3-D animation a kiosk can contain a virtual attendant or an Avatar The Avatar in a kiosk can dispense directional inforshymation in more of an active interaction The Avatar may be programed to ldquoreach out to the visitor and offer assistance prior to a request for information Equipped with speakers receivers and motion sensor the avatar can ldquoreach outrdquo and offer assisshytant and information

Light Emitting Diode

Emerging Technologies Lighting

The signage industry has been effected by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) and the energy reduction goals for federal agencies put forth in Executive Order 13423 to be adopted in 2012 These new federal standards introduces more aggressive requirements for three key provisions the Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards the Renewable Fuel Standard and the applishyancelighting efficiency standards To comply with these regulations the lighting industry has made advances and changes to illumination products in order to meet lighting efficiency standards Signage fabricators have adopted new illumination products offered by the lighting industry by shifting from the use of incandescent and fluorescent illumination to the more efficient halogen or LED illumination to meet economic ecological and regulatory goals

LEDs present many advantages over incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption longer lifetime improved robustness smaller size faster switching and greater durability and reliability LEDs powerful enough for room lighting are relatively expensive and require more precise current and heat manageshyment than compact fluorescent lamp sources of comparable output

LED flood lights powered by solar and battery back up are a good solutions for exshyterior signage and DOT road sign illumination LED solar with battery backup and power control systems technologies continues to make improvements in brightness longevity reliability and durability As these technologies advance more products will become available for commercial exterior illuminated signage applications The solar power systems with battery backup will extend illumination capabilities beshyyond 6 to 8 hour run times even on cloudy days LED illumination with solar power require no line voltage digging trenching and can be located in remote locations with limited scheduled maintenance for up to five years The ultra light bright and efficient LED fixtures continue to yield economic and safety benefits to illuminated exterior signage

Solar Illumination Current and emergent photovoltaic technologies make solar powered sign illuminashytion possible and practical

Photovoltaic Solar power supply in conjunction with LED illumination and electronic controls systems which integrated multi power sources can lend to a reliable and predictable power supply for illuminated signage Advancements are continually being made in both photovoltaic technology and sophisticated power management systems Battery backup of solar power source can be effective solution for remote stand-alone signage needs

While utilizing solar for powering illuminated signage can currently be accomshyplished there are certain challenges to be addressed for real time practical applicashytion particularly in the form of batteries As energy collection with solar panels imshyproves and new power management systems are developed along with LEDrsquos with higher light output and low electrical consumption batteries are and will remain the cornerstone of the system that needs development to allow installations to beshycome truly viable Look for many changes in this area in the upcoming years

Printing

Wide Format Printers

Emerging Technologies Digital Printing

In the past signage was painted or silk-screened graphics Advancements in digital printing continue to be make an impact on how signage is produced and designed Digital prints of maps for directories can be more colorful and pictorial The low cost of digital prints makes updates and changeable graphics possible Temporary signs and banners are cost effective weatherproof and can be produced quickly

The combination of technological advances in the materials or substrates to print on the inks and dyes to print with the digital printers and cutting equipment with-which to produce graphic continues to make marked improvement and increased signage capabilities The substrates in which stable images can be printed on has expanded Premium cast vinyl film designed for long-term outdoor signage is a flexible material for vehicle wraps Perforated material having a see through quality for windowbus wraps allow graphic to be placed on busses buildings windows elevator doors and almost any surface The difference of this enhanced resolution by high quality printers is unmistakable High-definition output is both brilliant and eye-catching Die sublimation is a printing process that allows for ink to penetrate various fabrics from very sheer see-through silks to UV stable inks on heavy awshyning canvas The Die-sub process has again expanded how and where a designer is able to place graphics

Large format printers printers with increasing resolution DPI (dots per inch) and printer speed impact graphic solutions and cost of on site graphics Large format printers can print on rolled paper or fabric of increasing widths Where once billshyboards where painted by hand now digital graphics can wrap an entire buildings Fabrication and computer controlled cutting technology allows for high production fabrication runs of fairly complex shapes All these production technologies are continually changing and advancing allowing for design solutions for signage to be cost effective and more creative

ldquoWide Format printers (contrast to vector-rendering plotters) are generally accepted to be any printer with a print width between 17 and 100 Printers over the 100rdquo mark may be called Super-Wide or Grand format Wide format printers are used to print banners posters and general signage and in some cases may be more ecoshynomical than short-run methods such as screen-printing Wide format printers genshyerally use a roll of print material rather than individual sheets and may incorporate hot-air dryers to prevent prints from sticking to themselves as they are producedrdquo

Digital Printing Categories

Digital printing is categorized according to ink used

bull Aqueous Thermal or Piezo inkjet printers using ink known as aqueous or water-based The term ldquowater baserdquo is a generally accepted misnomer The pigment is held in a non-reactive carrier solution that is sometimes water and other times a substitute liquid including a soy based liquid used by Kodak Aqueous ink generally comes in two flavors Dye and UV (alternatively known as pigment) Dye ink is high color low UV-resistant variety that offers the widest color gamut UV ink is generally duller in color but withstands fading from UV rays Similar in general principal to desktop inkjet printers Finished prints usshying dye inks must be laminated to protect them if they are to be used outdoors while prints using UV inks can be used outdoors un-laminated for a limited time Various materials are available including canvases banners metabolized plasshytic and cloth Aqueous technology requires that all materials be properly coated to accept and hold the ink

Printing Emerging Technologies Digital Printing and Laminates

bull Solvent ink This term is used to describe any ink that is not water-based Piezo inkjet printers whose inks use petroleum or a petroleum by-product such as acetone as its carrier liquid ldquoEco-solventrdquo inks usually contain glycol esters or glycol ether esters and are slower drying The resulting prints are waterproof Solvent inks may be used to print directly on uncoated vinyl and other media as well as ridged substrates such as Foam Board and PVC

bull Dye sublimation Inks are diffused into the special print media to produce continuous-tone prints of photographic quality

bull UV Piezo inkjet printers whose inks are UV-curable (dry when cured with UV light) The resulting prints are waterproof embossed and vibrant Any media material can be used in this technology polymer made media are best Ceramics glass metals and woods are also used with printing with this technology Important features of these UV-stable polyester films include low transmission of ultraviolet light high mechanical strength and good dimensional stability They also enable good adhesive bond strength to be achieved in coating printing and laminating The UV resistant ldquoHOSTAPHANreg Protective Filmsrdquo from Mitsubishi Polyester Film GmbH are biaxially oriented films made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) These polyester films offer good weathering resistance and very high absorption of UV radiation

ndash Alpha Imaging Wikipedia

Laminate Types The end result of digital printing is not always a flexible product Digital prints can be laminated on substrates to produce ridged panel graphics This type of product is excellent for out door use or interior high traffic wall panel installations Graphics with laminate protection extends the durability of a graphic panel with vandal resisshytant UV stable and waterproof qualities Below are some of the laminate options available in the sign industry

ndash Artcraft

bull Matte laminates Matte laminates provide the most protection against surface glare from lights The frosted surface however can make colors appear less intense and some brands are more susceptible to scratching Gloss laminates make colors appear vivid and bright but have serious glare problems and can scratch easily as well Often the best compromise is a lustre (satin) laminate It allows good color quality and minimizes glare

bull Graffiti-resistant laminates Graffiti-resistant laminates are made of a Teflon-like substance and allow for spray paint and felt pens to be washed right off The toughest come in high-gloss only These products cannot be used in conshyjunction with any plastic substrates There are serious compatibility issues

bull Scratch-resistant laminates Scratch-resistant laminates have textured surshyfaces The greater the texture the tougher the laminate but the more the color and image quality are compromised Polycarbonate laminates are the toughest of these but are too thick for edge-wrapping

bull Hot laminates Hot laminates become rigid when they cool The thicker the film the more rigid it becomes Standard thicknesses are 3 mil 5 mil and 10 mil 10 mil on both sides of a print becomes 20 mil when heated together These laminates have no UV rating donrsquot work well outdoors and donrsquot stick well to many types of digital prints This necessitates leaving an overlap of laminate around the edge of the print to seal it all in (known as encapsulation) Hot lamishynates are also available in matte or gloss

Printing Emerging Technologies Advancements in Cutting Routing and Milling

Graphic Image Digital Laminate

Routing

By far the most advanced technologically Graphic Imaging is a custom print option that captures full color photographic images Graphic Imaging can replicate images created on computer or designs that can be scanned electronically Since graphic image process is a full color reproduction the appearance of the print presents itself in a digital format Image resolution of 300 dpi or higher can produce clear images on a large finished replication One of the key factors to keep in mind about graphic image production is that a vendor can only reproduce the quality of what is given to then For example if the only available artwork is a faxed copy of a copy then our finished laminate will only duplicate that art In some cases Some vendors can recreate artwork images however this is time consuming and expensive to accomplish

Graphic panels do not need to be rectangles any more With the advancement in computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting systems the complexity of the cut shape is no longer a major design concern Most production runs for ridged panel substrates are done on various CNC cutting tables with plasma waterjet or milling and routing capabilities

A CNC Router is a numerical control tool that cuts objects from wood or plastic Parts of a project can be designed in the computer with a CADCAM program and then cut automatically using a router to produce a finished part The CNC router works like a printer Work is composed on a computer and then the design or drawshying is sent to the CNC router for the hard copy This outputs a 3-dimensional copy of the work The CNC router uses a cutting tool following the vector based computer instructions in Cartesian coordinate system (X Y Z) for 3D motion control This gives the computer a printer-like ability to drive a CNC machine to make dimensionshyal letters and other sign parts

Cutting Plasma Cutting is a process that is used to cut steel and other metals of different thicknesses (or sometimes other materials) using a plasma torch In this process an inert gas (in some units compressed air) is blown at high speed out of a nozzle at the same time an electrical arc is formed through that gas from the nozzle to the surface being cut turning some of that gas to plasma The plasma is sufficiently hot to melt the metal being cut and moves sufficiently fast to blow molten metal away from the cut Plasma is an effective means of cutting thin and thick materials alike Hand-held torches can usually cut up to 2 inches (51 mm) thick steel plate and stronger computer-controlled torches can cut steel up to 6 inches (150 mm) thick Since plasma cutters produce a very hot and very localized ldquoconerdquo to cut with they are extremely useful for cutting sheet metal in curved or angled shapes

Freehand Cut of a Thick Steel Plate The HF Contact type uses a high frequency high-voltage spark to ionize the air through the torch head and initiate an arc These require the torch to be in contact with the job material when starting and so are not suitable for applications involving computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting

The Pilot Arc type uses a two-cycle approach to producing plasma avoiding the need for initial contact First a high-voltage low current circuit is used to initialize a very small high-intensity spark within the torch body thereby generating a small pocket of plasma gas This is referred to as the pilot arc The pilot arc has a return electrical path built into the torch head The pilot arc will maintain itself until it is brought into proximity of the work piece where it ignites the main plasma-cutting arc Plasma arcs are extremely hot and are in the range of 25000 degC (45000 degF)

Water Jet Cutting

ldquoThe water jet is unparalleled in many aspects of cutting and has changed the way many products are manufactured Many types of water jets exist today including pure water jets (water only) abrasive water jets percussive water jets cavitation jets and hybrid jets Operation of the cutter is commonly connected to a high-presshysure water pump where the water is then ejected from the nozzle cutting through the material by spraying it with the jet of high-speed water Additives in the form of suspended grit or other abrasives such as garnet and aluminum oxide can assist in this process

An important benefit of the water jet cutter is the ability to cut material without intershyfering with the materialrsquos inherent structure as there is no ldquoheat-affected zonerdquo Water jet cutters are also capable of producing rather intricate cuts in material With speshycialized software and 3-D machining heads complex 3-D shapes can be produced

Advances in control and motion technology 5-axis water jet cutting (abrasive and pure) has become a reality

Water jet is considered a ldquogreenrdquo technology Water jets produce no hazardous waste reducing waste disposal costs They can cut off large pieces of reusable scrap material that might have been lost using traditional cutting methods Parts can be closely nested to maximize material use and the water jet saves material by creating very little kerf Water jets use very little water (a half gallon to approximately one gallon per minute depending on cutting head orifice size) and the water that is used can be recycled using a closed-looped system Wastewater usually is clean enough to filter and dispose of down a drain The garnet abrasive is a non-toxic natural substance that can be recycled for repeated use Garnet usually can be disposed of in a landfill Water jets also eliminate airborne dust particles smoke fumes and contaminants from cutting materials such as asbestos and fiberglass This greatly improves the work environment and reduces problems arising from operator exposurerdquo

Photo Polymer

Advancements in Materials

ldquoA photopolymer is a polymer that changes its properties when exposed to light often in the ultraviolet spectrum These polymers are useful in dentistry for fillings and in rapid prototyping in the stereo lithography and 3D printing processes In the past this material was also used in the creation of ABAADA compliant Architectural Signage However the photo polymer does NOT produce a domed Braille dot And an application of paint to form the dome is required This material also used as a relief plate for flexographic printing can be used in plastics paper labels and sign inserts Some commercial brands worldwide include DuPont Cyrel BASF Nyloflex Novacryl Elaslon McDermid and Soleflex Exaprint

The basic material is soft and light sensitive A selective exposure to UV lamps is then applied then developed and cured the procedure involves exposing image wise a photopolymerizable element to actinic radiation emitting at a wavelength in the range of 365 nm removing the unexposed or unpolymerized areas of the plate with solvent drying the resulting plate The photopolymerized element can then be detackified by exposing the element to UV radiation emitting a wavelength in the range of 254 nm To ensure final plate hardening and photopolymerization the printing element can be further post-exposed to radiation emitting at wavelengths in the range of 365 nm

Introduction Sustainability

Sustainability Executive Order (EO) 13514 ldquoFederal Leadership in Environmental Energy and Economic Performancerdquo was signed by President Obama on 5 October 2009 This EO does not rescindeliminate the requirements of EO 13423 Instead it expands on the energy reduction and environmental performance requirements for Federal agencies identified in EO 13423

The goal of EO 13514 is ldquoto establish an integrated strategy towards sustainability in the Federal Government and to make reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) a priority for Federal agenciesrdquo

Towards meeting that goal Federal agencies are required to meet a series of deadshylines critical to achieving the GHG reduction goals of the EO This EO also sets non-numerical targets that agencies must reach The full text of the required targets and strategies can be found within Executive Order 13514

Green Strategies for Signs

Signs in and of themselves are not an item that can be considered ldquogreenrdquo or a LEEDreg product or product created from materials that are recycled However there are many elements related to signs that can contribute to accomplishing a green strategy for signs

bull Look into working with a sign company that does environmentally responsible production

Ask what programs a company has in place for things like solvent use reducshytion water conservation disposal and recycling of manufacturing waste and by products Do they use low VOC paints do they use T5 or T8 bulbs in building ilshyluminated signs do they build illuminated signs and letters with LED lighting do they install signs on the wall with mechanical fasteners instead of glue

bull Analyze the various elements of the design fabrication installation and product life cycle to eliminate materials and methods that are contrary to the intent of sustainability

Look toward the use of durable materials that fit a signs application or location in order to extend the life of the sign Implement a design that allows for signing to be updated with discarding the entire sign Select materials that will not deteshyriate from weather or environmental conditions

Utilize signs that are constructed from a component based system that allows for message modification and that can incorporate changes without have to reshyplace the entire sign Recycle signs whenever possible

bull A sign program can aid in the qualifications of a building for a LEEDreg rating

A sign program can be developed that educates the public on the benefits of a green building It can highlight and identify elements systems and materials of a building that specifically contribute to the LEEDreg rating

bull Look specifically at materials involved in producing signs

A material such as aluminum is commonly used in signs can be recycled This is a better material selection than say wood even considering that wood is also a product that can be recycled The life cycle of a wood sign is considerably shorter than a sign made of aluminum so it enters the ldquowaste streamrdquo sooner

Introduction Emerging Technologies

Technological Advancements

Psychology and Human Behavior

This section in the Design Guide delves into emerging technologies in relation to a point in time late 2012 With the fast pace of developing products and manufacturshying the following gives a brief overview and projections that will only be valid for a short period of time forward To gain a current look at the items discussed it is recommended that additional research be conducted on the subjects at the time of reading

In preparing this section various comments descriptions topics and write-ups from informational news sources internet sources and company sources function as resources and are put forth to provide an overview but with all types of emergshying technologies change is constant so this sections purpose is just to create an awareness In addition in the upcoming months and years new devices and methshyodologies will come forth that are totally unknown at the present time so one needs to constantly keep researching whatrsquos new The following section is to help one get started

Advancements in various industries continue to improve the quality and effectiveshyness of signage It is not necessarily technological advancements in any one singular industry but the overlapping convergence of different technologies in comshybination with one another that have allowed for large improvements in the signage industry Innovations in material science such as the development of UV resistant materials or improvement in LED- lighting technology have a positive effect on product durability and reduce power consumption Animated and interactive way-finding systems have seen marked change due to technological advances in the computer and telecommunications industries As these various industries continue to provide innovative solutions for complex wayfinding issues signage solutions and designs will become more efficient effective and less expensive than in the past

Various and diverse industries often evolve towards similar goals As a result convergence of previously separate technologies such as voice (and telephony features) data (and productivity applications) and GPS technology create new effishyciencies These emerging technologies represent progressive development that can separately and together yield innovative and a creative wayfinding solutions and create a positive and efficient visits to the VA At the time of this writing computer tablet and innovative software technologies are producing interesting products and applications that may influence and effect wayfinding

Though research and psychological studies behavioral science continues to gain a better understanding of human behavior Being lost or not being able to find your destination is a stressful and undesirable experience in any medical facility Integrating an advanced understanding of human behavior with emerging technoloshygies may yield appropriate solution for some wayfinding issues Not all VA visitors and patients feel comfortable navigating hallways using GPS rather than asking for help and directions Interactive kiosks may be effective with one demographic group of users and not other Each VA site will need to evaluate the best signage solution for its visitors and patients Technology is not intended to replace volunteers and trashyditional signage but may assist with an alternative method of delivering information and directions

LEEDreg is an acronym for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design The LEEDreg green building certification system is the preeminent program for rating the design construction and operation of green buildings LEEDreg is a voluntary consensus-based national standard for developing high-performance sustainable (ldquogreenrdquo) buildings

By using less energy LEEDreg-certified buildings save money for individuals busishynesses and taxpayers reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to a healthier environment for residents workers and the larger community Emerging Technology is continually being challenged to meet the building industries ldquogreenrdquo goal The demand for green products is driving changes in material and fabrication Sustainable or ldquogreen buildingrdquo design and construction is the opportunity to use our resources more efficiently while creating healthier and more energy-efficient homes Although there is no magic formula success comes in the form of leaving a lighter footprint on the environment through conservation of resources while at the same time balancing energy-efficient cost-effective low-maintenance products for our construction needs In other words green building design involves achieving the delicate balance between building and the sustainable environment

Obtaining LEEDreg certification requires compliance with a minimum number of crishyteria affecting many aspects of a project from site selection to the recycled content of building materials While participation in the LEEDreg program has been mostly voluntary some government entities require that publicly funded projects apply for LEEDreg certification and other states and communities are considering this

Sign materials and fabrication methods can be ldquogreenrdquo Use of recycled materials for the substrate will help reduce environmental impact If a sign substrate is manufacshytured from recyclable materials such as glass metal and some photo polymers enshyvironmental impact can be reduced Selection of Low VOC Matthews Acrylic Base Paint offers eco friendly paint solution Paint that is applied through a specialized high volume low pressure (HVLP) paint applicator sprayer It provides superior color coating with minimal overspray reducing waste and VOCs or volatile organic comshypounds Power reduction can be made by the use of LED lighting LED illumination creates a high brightness that offers reliable illumination providing long lasting light LEDs consume very little energy and are effective in both interior and exterior illumishynated signage

bull Resistive A resistive touchscreen panel is composed of several layers the most important of which are two thin electrically conductive layers separated by a narrow gap When an object such as a finger presses down on a point on the panelrsquos outer surface the two metallic layers become connected at that point the panel then behaves as a pair of voltage dividers with connected outputs This causes a change in the electrical current which is registered as a touch event and sent to the controller for processing The cover sheet conshysists of a hard outer surface with a coated inner side When the outer layer is touched it causes the conductive layers to touch creating a signal that the analog controller can interpret and determine what the user wants to be done Resistive touch is used in restaurants factories and hospitals due to its high reshysistance to liquids and contaminants A major benefit of resistive touch technolshyogy is it is extremely cost-effective One disadvantage of resistive technology is its vulnerability of being damaged by sharp objects

bull Surface acoustic wave Surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology uses ultrashysonic waves that pass over the touchscreen panel When the panel is touched a portion of the wave is absorbed This change in the ultrasonic waves registers the position of the touch event and sends this information to the controller for processing Surface wave touchscreen panels can be damaged by outside eleshyments Contaminants on the surface can also interfere with the functionality of the touchscreen

bull Capacitive touchscreen of a mobile phone A capacitive touchscreen panel consists of an insulator such as glass coated with a transparent conductor such as indium tin oxide As the human body is also an electrical conductor touching the surface of the screen results in a distortion of the screenrsquos electroshystatic field measurable as a change in capacitance Different technologies may be used to determine the location of the touch The location is then sent to the controller for processing Unlike a resistive touchscreen one cannot use a cashypacitive touchscreen through most types of electrically insulating material such as gloves one requires a special capacitive stylus or a special-application glove with fingertips that generate static electricity This disadvantage espeshycially affects usability in consumer electronics such as touch tablet PCs and capacitive smartphones in cold weather

Touch Screen Applications

Illumination

LED

Light Emitting Diode

Emerging Technologies Lighting

The signage industry has been effected by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) and the energy reduction goals for federal agencies put forth in Executive Order 13423 to be adopted in 2012 These new federal standards introduces more aggressive requirements for three key provisions the Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards the Renewable Fuel Standard and the applishyancelighting efficiency standards To comply with these regulations the lighting industry has made advances and changes to illumination products in order to meet lighting efficiency standards Signage fabricators have adopted new illumination products offered by the lighting industry by shifting from the use of incandescent and fluorescent illumination to the more efficient halogen or LED illumination to meet economic ecological and regulatory goals

LEDs present many advantages over incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption longer lifetime improved robustness smaller size faster switching and greater durability and reliability LEDs powerful enough for room lighting are relatively expensive and require more precise current and heat manageshyment than compact fluorescent lamp sources of comparable output

LED flood lights powered by solar and battery back up are a good solutions for exshyterior signage and DOT road sign illumination LED solar with battery backup and power control systems technologies continues to make improvements in brightness longevity reliability and durability As these technologies advance more products will become available for commercial exterior illuminated signage applications The solar power systems with battery backup will extend illumination capabilities beshyyond 6 to 8 hour run times even on cloudy days LED illumination with solar power require no line voltage digging trenching and can be located in remote locations with limited scheduled maintenance for up to five years The ultra light bright and efficient LED fixtures continue to yield economic and safety benefits to illuminated exterior signage

Solar Illumination Current and emergent photovoltaic technologies make solar powered sign illuminashytion possible and practical

Photovoltaic Solar power supply in conjunction with LED illumination and electronic controls systems which integrated multi power sources can lend to a reliable and predictable power supply for illuminated signage Advancements are continually being made in both photovoltaic technology and sophisticated power management systems Battery backup of solar power source can be effective solution for remote stand-alone signage needs

While utilizing solar for powering illuminated signage can currently be accomshyplished there are certain challenges to be addressed for real time practical applicashytion particularly in the form of batteries As energy collection with solar panels imshyproves and new power management systems are developed along with LEDrsquos with higher light output and low electrical consumption batteries are and will remain the cornerstone of the system that needs development to allow installations to beshycome truly viable Look for many changes in this area in the upcoming years

Printing

Wide Format Printers

Emerging Technologies Digital Printing

In the past signage was painted or silk-screened graphics Advancements in digital printing continue to be make an impact on how signage is produced and designed Digital prints of maps for directories can be more colorful and pictorial The low cost of digital prints makes updates and changeable graphics possible Temporary signs and banners are cost effective weatherproof and can be produced quickly

The combination of technological advances in the materials or substrates to print on the inks and dyes to print with the digital printers and cutting equipment with-which to produce graphic continues to make marked improvement and increased signage capabilities The substrates in which stable images can be printed on has expanded Premium cast vinyl film designed for long-term outdoor signage is a flexible material for vehicle wraps Perforated material having a see through quality for windowbus wraps allow graphic to be placed on busses buildings windows elevator doors and almost any surface The difference of this enhanced resolution by high quality printers is unmistakable High-definition output is both brilliant and eye-catching Die sublimation is a printing process that allows for ink to penetrate various fabrics from very sheer see-through silks to UV stable inks on heavy awshyning canvas The Die-sub process has again expanded how and where a designer is able to place graphics

Large format printers printers with increasing resolution DPI (dots per inch) and printer speed impact graphic solutions and cost of on site graphics Large format printers can print on rolled paper or fabric of increasing widths Where once billshyboards where painted by hand now digital graphics can wrap an entire buildings Fabrication and computer controlled cutting technology allows for high production fabrication runs of fairly complex shapes All these production technologies are continually changing and advancing allowing for design solutions for signage to be cost effective and more creative

ldquoWide Format printers (contrast to vector-rendering plotters) are generally accepted to be any printer with a print width between 17 and 100 Printers over the 100rdquo mark may be called Super-Wide or Grand format Wide format printers are used to print banners posters and general signage and in some cases may be more ecoshynomical than short-run methods such as screen-printing Wide format printers genshyerally use a roll of print material rather than individual sheets and may incorporate hot-air dryers to prevent prints from sticking to themselves as they are producedrdquo

Digital Printing Categories

Digital printing is categorized according to ink used

bull Aqueous Thermal or Piezo inkjet printers using ink known as aqueous or water-based The term ldquowater baserdquo is a generally accepted misnomer The pigment is held in a non-reactive carrier solution that is sometimes water and other times a substitute liquid including a soy based liquid used by Kodak Aqueous ink generally comes in two flavors Dye and UV (alternatively known as pigment) Dye ink is high color low UV-resistant variety that offers the widest color gamut UV ink is generally duller in color but withstands fading from UV rays Similar in general principal to desktop inkjet printers Finished prints usshying dye inks must be laminated to protect them if they are to be used outdoors while prints using UV inks can be used outdoors un-laminated for a limited time Various materials are available including canvases banners metabolized plasshytic and cloth Aqueous technology requires that all materials be properly coated to accept and hold the ink

Printing Emerging Technologies Digital Printing and Laminates

bull Solvent ink This term is used to describe any ink that is not water-based Piezo inkjet printers whose inks use petroleum or a petroleum by-product such as acetone as its carrier liquid ldquoEco-solventrdquo inks usually contain glycol esters or glycol ether esters and are slower drying The resulting prints are waterproof Solvent inks may be used to print directly on uncoated vinyl and other media as well as ridged substrates such as Foam Board and PVC

bull Dye sublimation Inks are diffused into the special print media to produce continuous-tone prints of photographic quality

bull UV Piezo inkjet printers whose inks are UV-curable (dry when cured with UV light) The resulting prints are waterproof embossed and vibrant Any media material can be used in this technology polymer made media are best Ceramics glass metals and woods are also used with printing with this technology Important features of these UV-stable polyester films include low transmission of ultraviolet light high mechanical strength and good dimensional stability They also enable good adhesive bond strength to be achieved in coating printing and laminating The UV resistant ldquoHOSTAPHANreg Protective Filmsrdquo from Mitsubishi Polyester Film GmbH are biaxially oriented films made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) These polyester films offer good weathering resistance and very high absorption of UV radiation

ndash Alpha Imaging Wikipedia

Laminate Types The end result of digital printing is not always a flexible product Digital prints can be laminated on substrates to produce ridged panel graphics This type of product is excellent for out door use or interior high traffic wall panel installations Graphics with laminate protection extends the durability of a graphic panel with vandal resisshytant UV stable and waterproof qualities Below are some of the laminate options available in the sign industry

ndash Artcraft

bull Matte laminates Matte laminates provide the most protection against surface glare from lights The frosted surface however can make colors appear less intense and some brands are more susceptible to scratching Gloss laminates make colors appear vivid and bright but have serious glare problems and can scratch easily as well Often the best compromise is a lustre (satin) laminate It allows good color quality and minimizes glare

bull Graffiti-resistant laminates Graffiti-resistant laminates are made of a Teflon-like substance and allow for spray paint and felt pens to be washed right off The toughest come in high-gloss only These products cannot be used in conshyjunction with any plastic substrates There are serious compatibility issues

bull Scratch-resistant laminates Scratch-resistant laminates have textured surshyfaces The greater the texture the tougher the laminate but the more the color and image quality are compromised Polycarbonate laminates are the toughest of these but are too thick for edge-wrapping

bull Hot laminates Hot laminates become rigid when they cool The thicker the film the more rigid it becomes Standard thicknesses are 3 mil 5 mil and 10 mil 10 mil on both sides of a print becomes 20 mil when heated together These laminates have no UV rating donrsquot work well outdoors and donrsquot stick well to many types of digital prints This necessitates leaving an overlap of laminate around the edge of the print to seal it all in (known as encapsulation) Hot lamishynates are also available in matte or gloss

Printing Emerging Technologies Advancements in Cutting Routing and Milling

Graphic Image Digital Laminate

Routing

By far the most advanced technologically Graphic Imaging is a custom print option that captures full color photographic images Graphic Imaging can replicate images created on computer or designs that can be scanned electronically Since graphic image process is a full color reproduction the appearance of the print presents itself in a digital format Image resolution of 300 dpi or higher can produce clear images on a large finished replication One of the key factors to keep in mind about graphic image production is that a vendor can only reproduce the quality of what is given to then For example if the only available artwork is a faxed copy of a copy then our finished laminate will only duplicate that art In some cases Some vendors can recreate artwork images however this is time consuming and expensive to accomplish

Graphic panels do not need to be rectangles any more With the advancement in computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting systems the complexity of the cut shape is no longer a major design concern Most production runs for ridged panel substrates are done on various CNC cutting tables with plasma waterjet or milling and routing capabilities

A CNC Router is a numerical control tool that cuts objects from wood or plastic Parts of a project can be designed in the computer with a CADCAM program and then cut automatically using a router to produce a finished part The CNC router works like a printer Work is composed on a computer and then the design or drawshying is sent to the CNC router for the hard copy This outputs a 3-dimensional copy of the work The CNC router uses a cutting tool following the vector based computer instructions in Cartesian coordinate system (X Y Z) for 3D motion control This gives the computer a printer-like ability to drive a CNC machine to make dimensionshyal letters and other sign parts

Cutting Plasma Cutting is a process that is used to cut steel and other metals of different thicknesses (or sometimes other materials) using a plasma torch In this process an inert gas (in some units compressed air) is blown at high speed out of a nozzle at the same time an electrical arc is formed through that gas from the nozzle to the surface being cut turning some of that gas to plasma The plasma is sufficiently hot to melt the metal being cut and moves sufficiently fast to blow molten metal away from the cut Plasma is an effective means of cutting thin and thick materials alike Hand-held torches can usually cut up to 2 inches (51 mm) thick steel plate and stronger computer-controlled torches can cut steel up to 6 inches (150 mm) thick Since plasma cutters produce a very hot and very localized ldquoconerdquo to cut with they are extremely useful for cutting sheet metal in curved or angled shapes

Freehand Cut of a Thick Steel Plate The HF Contact type uses a high frequency high-voltage spark to ionize the air through the torch head and initiate an arc These require the torch to be in contact with the job material when starting and so are not suitable for applications involving computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting

The Pilot Arc type uses a two-cycle approach to producing plasma avoiding the need for initial contact First a high-voltage low current circuit is used to initialize a very small high-intensity spark within the torch body thereby generating a small pocket of plasma gas This is referred to as the pilot arc The pilot arc has a return electrical path built into the torch head The pilot arc will maintain itself until it is brought into proximity of the work piece where it ignites the main plasma-cutting arc Plasma arcs are extremely hot and are in the range of 25000 degC (45000 degF)

Water Jet Cutting

ldquoThe water jet is unparalleled in many aspects of cutting and has changed the way many products are manufactured Many types of water jets exist today including pure water jets (water only) abrasive water jets percussive water jets cavitation jets and hybrid jets Operation of the cutter is commonly connected to a high-presshysure water pump where the water is then ejected from the nozzle cutting through the material by spraying it with the jet of high-speed water Additives in the form of suspended grit or other abrasives such as garnet and aluminum oxide can assist in this process

An important benefit of the water jet cutter is the ability to cut material without intershyfering with the materialrsquos inherent structure as there is no ldquoheat-affected zonerdquo Water jet cutters are also capable of producing rather intricate cuts in material With speshycialized software and 3-D machining heads complex 3-D shapes can be produced

Advances in control and motion technology 5-axis water jet cutting (abrasive and pure) has become a reality

Water jet is considered a ldquogreenrdquo technology Water jets produce no hazardous waste reducing waste disposal costs They can cut off large pieces of reusable scrap material that might have been lost using traditional cutting methods Parts can be closely nested to maximize material use and the water jet saves material by creating very little kerf Water jets use very little water (a half gallon to approximately one gallon per minute depending on cutting head orifice size) and the water that is used can be recycled using a closed-looped system Wastewater usually is clean enough to filter and dispose of down a drain The garnet abrasive is a non-toxic natural substance that can be recycled for repeated use Garnet usually can be disposed of in a landfill Water jets also eliminate airborne dust particles smoke fumes and contaminants from cutting materials such as asbestos and fiberglass This greatly improves the work environment and reduces problems arising from operator exposurerdquo

Photo Polymer

Advancements in Materials

ldquoA photopolymer is a polymer that changes its properties when exposed to light often in the ultraviolet spectrum These polymers are useful in dentistry for fillings and in rapid prototyping in the stereo lithography and 3D printing processes In the past this material was also used in the creation of ABAADA compliant Architectural Signage However the photo polymer does NOT produce a domed Braille dot And an application of paint to form the dome is required This material also used as a relief plate for flexographic printing can be used in plastics paper labels and sign inserts Some commercial brands worldwide include DuPont Cyrel BASF Nyloflex Novacryl Elaslon McDermid and Soleflex Exaprint

The basic material is soft and light sensitive A selective exposure to UV lamps is then applied then developed and cured the procedure involves exposing image wise a photopolymerizable element to actinic radiation emitting at a wavelength in the range of 365 nm removing the unexposed or unpolymerized areas of the plate with solvent drying the resulting plate The photopolymerized element can then be detackified by exposing the element to UV radiation emitting a wavelength in the range of 254 nm To ensure final plate hardening and photopolymerization the printing element can be further post-exposed to radiation emitting at wavelengths in the range of 365 nm

Introduction Sustainability

Sustainability Executive Order (EO) 13514 ldquoFederal Leadership in Environmental Energy and Economic Performancerdquo was signed by President Obama on 5 October 2009 This EO does not rescindeliminate the requirements of EO 13423 Instead it expands on the energy reduction and environmental performance requirements for Federal agencies identified in EO 13423

The goal of EO 13514 is ldquoto establish an integrated strategy towards sustainability in the Federal Government and to make reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) a priority for Federal agenciesrdquo

Towards meeting that goal Federal agencies are required to meet a series of deadshylines critical to achieving the GHG reduction goals of the EO This EO also sets non-numerical targets that agencies must reach The full text of the required targets and strategies can be found within Executive Order 13514

Green Strategies for Signs

Signs in and of themselves are not an item that can be considered ldquogreenrdquo or a LEEDreg product or product created from materials that are recycled However there are many elements related to signs that can contribute to accomplishing a green strategy for signs

bull Look into working with a sign company that does environmentally responsible production

Ask what programs a company has in place for things like solvent use reducshytion water conservation disposal and recycling of manufacturing waste and by products Do they use low VOC paints do they use T5 or T8 bulbs in building ilshyluminated signs do they build illuminated signs and letters with LED lighting do they install signs on the wall with mechanical fasteners instead of glue

bull Analyze the various elements of the design fabrication installation and product life cycle to eliminate materials and methods that are contrary to the intent of sustainability

Look toward the use of durable materials that fit a signs application or location in order to extend the life of the sign Implement a design that allows for signing to be updated with discarding the entire sign Select materials that will not deteshyriate from weather or environmental conditions

Utilize signs that are constructed from a component based system that allows for message modification and that can incorporate changes without have to reshyplace the entire sign Recycle signs whenever possible

bull A sign program can aid in the qualifications of a building for a LEEDreg rating

A sign program can be developed that educates the public on the benefits of a green building It can highlight and identify elements systems and materials of a building that specifically contribute to the LEEDreg rating

bull Look specifically at materials involved in producing signs

A material such as aluminum is commonly used in signs can be recycled This is a better material selection than say wood even considering that wood is also a product that can be recycled The life cycle of a wood sign is considerably shorter than a sign made of aluminum so it enters the ldquowaste streamrdquo sooner

LEEDreg

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design

Sustainable Design

LEEDreg is an acronym for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design The LEEDreg green building certification system is the preeminent program for rating the design construction and operation of green buildings LEEDreg is a voluntary consensus-based national standard for developing high-performance sustainable (ldquogreenrdquo) buildings

By using less energy LEEDreg-certified buildings save money for individuals busishynesses and taxpayers reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to a healthier environment for residents workers and the larger community Emerging Technology is continually being challenged to meet the building industries ldquogreenrdquo goal The demand for green products is driving changes in material and fabrication Sustainable or ldquogreen buildingrdquo design and construction is the opportunity to use our resources more efficiently while creating healthier and more energy-efficient homes Although there is no magic formula success comes in the form of leaving a lighter footprint on the environment through conservation of resources while at the same time balancing energy-efficient cost-effective low-maintenance products for our construction needs In other words green building design involves achieving the delicate balance between building and the sustainable environment

Obtaining LEEDreg certification requires compliance with a minimum number of crishyteria affecting many aspects of a project from site selection to the recycled content of building materials While participation in the LEEDreg program has been mostly voluntary some government entities require that publicly funded projects apply for LEEDreg certification and other states and communities are considering this

Sign materials and fabrication methods can be ldquogreenrdquo Use of recycled materials for the substrate will help reduce environmental impact If a sign substrate is manufacshytured from recyclable materials such as glass metal and some photo polymers enshyvironmental impact can be reduced Selection of Low VOC Matthews Acrylic Base Paint offers eco friendly paint solution Paint that is applied through a specialized high volume low pressure (HVLP) paint applicator sprayer It provides superior color coating with minimal overspray reducing waste and VOCs or volatile organic comshypounds Power reduction can be made by the use of LED lighting LED illumination creates a high brightness that offers reliable illumination providing long lasting light LEDs consume very little energy and are effective in both interior and exterior illumishynated signage

Technologies Emerging Technologies Communication Technology

Web Based Technology

Bar CodeTechnology Bar code technology could be utilized to assist with wayfinding For example a barcoded printed appointment card or patient identity card could be scanned at a barcode reader at the point of entry to the building to assist with navigation provide information as to appointment wait times lab work required or just directions to a specific office or departments If the barcode were on a smart phone the phones barcode image could be scanned and through text to speech technology the phone could continue to issue navigational information until the patient arrived at the destination

Mobile Devices Smart Phones

Web-based technologies can have a significant impact on how people interact with VA services and Medical Facilities A web search for services and general informashytion is often the first step for a visit of the facility Integration of the website with GPS Technology such as driving directions and pedestrian wayfinding and navigation can help to create a positive visit to the VA Web bases tools are changing the way we gather information plan a doctor visit scheduling appointments and fill preshyscriptions A VA Visit can be organized from finding a parking space arriving at the proper entrance to walking to a doctorrsquos office or medical department This techshynology will only assist thoughts clients with web access If a client does not have personal web access an interactive kiosk could be located at the main entry of the facility to provide navigational instructions or print out a map

ldquoIn the Fall of 2011 approximately 25 of cell phone users had smart phones It is projected that by 2113 50 of phones will be smartphones A growing number of applications (apps) for smart phones have a direct impact on wayfinding and signage Though this technology may not reach all VA patients and visitors cell phones are a growing segment of VA users Mobile apps can assist with directions appointments health information events and medical educationrdquo

RFID

Radio-Frequency Identification Device

ldquoRadio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) tag is a small electronic tag that stores transmits and receives information The RFID tag includes a small RF transshymitter and receiver An RFID reader transmits an encoded radio signal to interrogate the tag The tag receives the message and responds with its identification informashytion Many RFID tags do not use a battery Instead the tag uses the radio energy transmitted by the reader as its energy source The RFID system design includes a method of discriminating several tags that might be within the range of the RFID readerrdquo

ndash Wikipedia

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that uses radio waves to transfer data from an electronic tag called RFID tag or label attached to an object through a reader for the purpose of identifying and tracking the object Some RFID tags can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight of the readshyer The application of bulk reading enables an almost-parallel reading of tags

Appointment cards could be issued with RFI tags RFID readers could be installed at key intersections with in the Hospital An appointment card is scanned and direcshytional instructions are issued to help patients navigate the facility A central scanner could be located at a main Info desk to issue directional instructions

ldquoRadio frequency identification is a powerful emerging technology that enables companies to achieve total business visibility By knowing the identity location and conditions of assets tools inventory people and more companies can optimize business processes and reduce operational costsrdquo

bull Resistive A resistive touchscreen panel is composed of several layers the most important of which are two thin electrically conductive layers separated by a narrow gap When an object such as a finger presses down on a point on the panelrsquos outer surface the two metallic layers become connected at that point the panel then behaves as a pair of voltage dividers with connected outputs This causes a change in the electrical current which is registered as a touch event and sent to the controller for processing The cover sheet conshysists of a hard outer surface with a coated inner side When the outer layer is touched it causes the conductive layers to touch creating a signal that the analog controller can interpret and determine what the user wants to be done Resistive touch is used in restaurants factories and hospitals due to its high reshysistance to liquids and contaminants A major benefit of resistive touch technolshyogy is it is extremely cost-effective One disadvantage of resistive technology is its vulnerability of being damaged by sharp objects

bull Surface acoustic wave Surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology uses ultrashysonic waves that pass over the touchscreen panel When the panel is touched a portion of the wave is absorbed This change in the ultrasonic waves registers the position of the touch event and sends this information to the controller for processing Surface wave touchscreen panels can be damaged by outside eleshyments Contaminants on the surface can also interfere with the functionality of the touchscreen

bull Capacitive touchscreen of a mobile phone A capacitive touchscreen panel consists of an insulator such as glass coated with a transparent conductor such as indium tin oxide As the human body is also an electrical conductor touching the surface of the screen results in a distortion of the screenrsquos electroshystatic field measurable as a change in capacitance Different technologies may be used to determine the location of the touch The location is then sent to the controller for processing Unlike a resistive touchscreen one cannot use a cashypacitive touchscreen through most types of electrically insulating material such as gloves one requires a special capacitive stylus or a special-application glove with fingertips that generate static electricity This disadvantage espeshycially affects usability in consumer electronics such as touch tablet PCs and capacitive smartphones in cold weather

Touch Screen Applications

Illumination

LED

Light Emitting Diode

Emerging Technologies Lighting

The signage industry has been effected by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) and the energy reduction goals for federal agencies put forth in Executive Order 13423 to be adopted in 2012 These new federal standards introduces more aggressive requirements for three key provisions the Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards the Renewable Fuel Standard and the applishyancelighting efficiency standards To comply with these regulations the lighting industry has made advances and changes to illumination products in order to meet lighting efficiency standards Signage fabricators have adopted new illumination products offered by the lighting industry by shifting from the use of incandescent and fluorescent illumination to the more efficient halogen or LED illumination to meet economic ecological and regulatory goals

LEDs present many advantages over incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption longer lifetime improved robustness smaller size faster switching and greater durability and reliability LEDs powerful enough for room lighting are relatively expensive and require more precise current and heat manageshyment than compact fluorescent lamp sources of comparable output

LED flood lights powered by solar and battery back up are a good solutions for exshyterior signage and DOT road sign illumination LED solar with battery backup and power control systems technologies continues to make improvements in brightness longevity reliability and durability As these technologies advance more products will become available for commercial exterior illuminated signage applications The solar power systems with battery backup will extend illumination capabilities beshyyond 6 to 8 hour run times even on cloudy days LED illumination with solar power require no line voltage digging trenching and can be located in remote locations with limited scheduled maintenance for up to five years The ultra light bright and efficient LED fixtures continue to yield economic and safety benefits to illuminated exterior signage

Solar Illumination Current and emergent photovoltaic technologies make solar powered sign illuminashytion possible and practical

Photovoltaic Solar power supply in conjunction with LED illumination and electronic controls systems which integrated multi power sources can lend to a reliable and predictable power supply for illuminated signage Advancements are continually being made in both photovoltaic technology and sophisticated power management systems Battery backup of solar power source can be effective solution for remote stand-alone signage needs

While utilizing solar for powering illuminated signage can currently be accomshyplished there are certain challenges to be addressed for real time practical applicashytion particularly in the form of batteries As energy collection with solar panels imshyproves and new power management systems are developed along with LEDrsquos with higher light output and low electrical consumption batteries are and will remain the cornerstone of the system that needs development to allow installations to beshycome truly viable Look for many changes in this area in the upcoming years

Printing

Wide Format Printers

Emerging Technologies Digital Printing

In the past signage was painted or silk-screened graphics Advancements in digital printing continue to be make an impact on how signage is produced and designed Digital prints of maps for directories can be more colorful and pictorial The low cost of digital prints makes updates and changeable graphics possible Temporary signs and banners are cost effective weatherproof and can be produced quickly

The combination of technological advances in the materials or substrates to print on the inks and dyes to print with the digital printers and cutting equipment with-which to produce graphic continues to make marked improvement and increased signage capabilities The substrates in which stable images can be printed on has expanded Premium cast vinyl film designed for long-term outdoor signage is a flexible material for vehicle wraps Perforated material having a see through quality for windowbus wraps allow graphic to be placed on busses buildings windows elevator doors and almost any surface The difference of this enhanced resolution by high quality printers is unmistakable High-definition output is both brilliant and eye-catching Die sublimation is a printing process that allows for ink to penetrate various fabrics from very sheer see-through silks to UV stable inks on heavy awshyning canvas The Die-sub process has again expanded how and where a designer is able to place graphics

Large format printers printers with increasing resolution DPI (dots per inch) and printer speed impact graphic solutions and cost of on site graphics Large format printers can print on rolled paper or fabric of increasing widths Where once billshyboards where painted by hand now digital graphics can wrap an entire buildings Fabrication and computer controlled cutting technology allows for high production fabrication runs of fairly complex shapes All these production technologies are continually changing and advancing allowing for design solutions for signage to be cost effective and more creative

ldquoWide Format printers (contrast to vector-rendering plotters) are generally accepted to be any printer with a print width between 17 and 100 Printers over the 100rdquo mark may be called Super-Wide or Grand format Wide format printers are used to print banners posters and general signage and in some cases may be more ecoshynomical than short-run methods such as screen-printing Wide format printers genshyerally use a roll of print material rather than individual sheets and may incorporate hot-air dryers to prevent prints from sticking to themselves as they are producedrdquo

Digital Printing Categories

Digital printing is categorized according to ink used

bull Aqueous Thermal or Piezo inkjet printers using ink known as aqueous or water-based The term ldquowater baserdquo is a generally accepted misnomer The pigment is held in a non-reactive carrier solution that is sometimes water and other times a substitute liquid including a soy based liquid used by Kodak Aqueous ink generally comes in two flavors Dye and UV (alternatively known as pigment) Dye ink is high color low UV-resistant variety that offers the widest color gamut UV ink is generally duller in color but withstands fading from UV rays Similar in general principal to desktop inkjet printers Finished prints usshying dye inks must be laminated to protect them if they are to be used outdoors while prints using UV inks can be used outdoors un-laminated for a limited time Various materials are available including canvases banners metabolized plasshytic and cloth Aqueous technology requires that all materials be properly coated to accept and hold the ink

Printing Emerging Technologies Digital Printing and Laminates

bull Solvent ink This term is used to describe any ink that is not water-based Piezo inkjet printers whose inks use petroleum or a petroleum by-product such as acetone as its carrier liquid ldquoEco-solventrdquo inks usually contain glycol esters or glycol ether esters and are slower drying The resulting prints are waterproof Solvent inks may be used to print directly on uncoated vinyl and other media as well as ridged substrates such as Foam Board and PVC

bull Dye sublimation Inks are diffused into the special print media to produce continuous-tone prints of photographic quality

bull UV Piezo inkjet printers whose inks are UV-curable (dry when cured with UV light) The resulting prints are waterproof embossed and vibrant Any media material can be used in this technology polymer made media are best Ceramics glass metals and woods are also used with printing with this technology Important features of these UV-stable polyester films include low transmission of ultraviolet light high mechanical strength and good dimensional stability They also enable good adhesive bond strength to be achieved in coating printing and laminating The UV resistant ldquoHOSTAPHANreg Protective Filmsrdquo from Mitsubishi Polyester Film GmbH are biaxially oriented films made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) These polyester films offer good weathering resistance and very high absorption of UV radiation

ndash Alpha Imaging Wikipedia

Laminate Types The end result of digital printing is not always a flexible product Digital prints can be laminated on substrates to produce ridged panel graphics This type of product is excellent for out door use or interior high traffic wall panel installations Graphics with laminate protection extends the durability of a graphic panel with vandal resisshytant UV stable and waterproof qualities Below are some of the laminate options available in the sign industry

ndash Artcraft

bull Matte laminates Matte laminates provide the most protection against surface glare from lights The frosted surface however can make colors appear less intense and some brands are more susceptible to scratching Gloss laminates make colors appear vivid and bright but have serious glare problems and can scratch easily as well Often the best compromise is a lustre (satin) laminate It allows good color quality and minimizes glare

bull Graffiti-resistant laminates Graffiti-resistant laminates are made of a Teflon-like substance and allow for spray paint and felt pens to be washed right off The toughest come in high-gloss only These products cannot be used in conshyjunction with any plastic substrates There are serious compatibility issues

bull Scratch-resistant laminates Scratch-resistant laminates have textured surshyfaces The greater the texture the tougher the laminate but the more the color and image quality are compromised Polycarbonate laminates are the toughest of these but are too thick for edge-wrapping

bull Hot laminates Hot laminates become rigid when they cool The thicker the film the more rigid it becomes Standard thicknesses are 3 mil 5 mil and 10 mil 10 mil on both sides of a print becomes 20 mil when heated together These laminates have no UV rating donrsquot work well outdoors and donrsquot stick well to many types of digital prints This necessitates leaving an overlap of laminate around the edge of the print to seal it all in (known as encapsulation) Hot lamishynates are also available in matte or gloss

Printing Emerging Technologies Advancements in Cutting Routing and Milling

Graphic Image Digital Laminate

Routing

By far the most advanced technologically Graphic Imaging is a custom print option that captures full color photographic images Graphic Imaging can replicate images created on computer or designs that can be scanned electronically Since graphic image process is a full color reproduction the appearance of the print presents itself in a digital format Image resolution of 300 dpi or higher can produce clear images on a large finished replication One of the key factors to keep in mind about graphic image production is that a vendor can only reproduce the quality of what is given to then For example if the only available artwork is a faxed copy of a copy then our finished laminate will only duplicate that art In some cases Some vendors can recreate artwork images however this is time consuming and expensive to accomplish

Graphic panels do not need to be rectangles any more With the advancement in computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting systems the complexity of the cut shape is no longer a major design concern Most production runs for ridged panel substrates are done on various CNC cutting tables with plasma waterjet or milling and routing capabilities

A CNC Router is a numerical control tool that cuts objects from wood or plastic Parts of a project can be designed in the computer with a CADCAM program and then cut automatically using a router to produce a finished part The CNC router works like a printer Work is composed on a computer and then the design or drawshying is sent to the CNC router for the hard copy This outputs a 3-dimensional copy of the work The CNC router uses a cutting tool following the vector based computer instructions in Cartesian coordinate system (X Y Z) for 3D motion control This gives the computer a printer-like ability to drive a CNC machine to make dimensionshyal letters and other sign parts

Cutting Plasma Cutting is a process that is used to cut steel and other metals of different thicknesses (or sometimes other materials) using a plasma torch In this process an inert gas (in some units compressed air) is blown at high speed out of a nozzle at the same time an electrical arc is formed through that gas from the nozzle to the surface being cut turning some of that gas to plasma The plasma is sufficiently hot to melt the metal being cut and moves sufficiently fast to blow molten metal away from the cut Plasma is an effective means of cutting thin and thick materials alike Hand-held torches can usually cut up to 2 inches (51 mm) thick steel plate and stronger computer-controlled torches can cut steel up to 6 inches (150 mm) thick Since plasma cutters produce a very hot and very localized ldquoconerdquo to cut with they are extremely useful for cutting sheet metal in curved or angled shapes

Freehand Cut of a Thick Steel Plate The HF Contact type uses a high frequency high-voltage spark to ionize the air through the torch head and initiate an arc These require the torch to be in contact with the job material when starting and so are not suitable for applications involving computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting

The Pilot Arc type uses a two-cycle approach to producing plasma avoiding the need for initial contact First a high-voltage low current circuit is used to initialize a very small high-intensity spark within the torch body thereby generating a small pocket of plasma gas This is referred to as the pilot arc The pilot arc has a return electrical path built into the torch head The pilot arc will maintain itself until it is brought into proximity of the work piece where it ignites the main plasma-cutting arc Plasma arcs are extremely hot and are in the range of 25000 degC (45000 degF)

Water Jet Cutting

ldquoThe water jet is unparalleled in many aspects of cutting and has changed the way many products are manufactured Many types of water jets exist today including pure water jets (water only) abrasive water jets percussive water jets cavitation jets and hybrid jets Operation of the cutter is commonly connected to a high-presshysure water pump where the water is then ejected from the nozzle cutting through the material by spraying it with the jet of high-speed water Additives in the form of suspended grit or other abrasives such as garnet and aluminum oxide can assist in this process

An important benefit of the water jet cutter is the ability to cut material without intershyfering with the materialrsquos inherent structure as there is no ldquoheat-affected zonerdquo Water jet cutters are also capable of producing rather intricate cuts in material With speshycialized software and 3-D machining heads complex 3-D shapes can be produced

Advances in control and motion technology 5-axis water jet cutting (abrasive and pure) has become a reality

Water jet is considered a ldquogreenrdquo technology Water jets produce no hazardous waste reducing waste disposal costs They can cut off large pieces of reusable scrap material that might have been lost using traditional cutting methods Parts can be closely nested to maximize material use and the water jet saves material by creating very little kerf Water jets use very little water (a half gallon to approximately one gallon per minute depending on cutting head orifice size) and the water that is used can be recycled using a closed-looped system Wastewater usually is clean enough to filter and dispose of down a drain The garnet abrasive is a non-toxic natural substance that can be recycled for repeated use Garnet usually can be disposed of in a landfill Water jets also eliminate airborne dust particles smoke fumes and contaminants from cutting materials such as asbestos and fiberglass This greatly improves the work environment and reduces problems arising from operator exposurerdquo

Photo Polymer

Advancements in Materials

ldquoA photopolymer is a polymer that changes its properties when exposed to light often in the ultraviolet spectrum These polymers are useful in dentistry for fillings and in rapid prototyping in the stereo lithography and 3D printing processes In the past this material was also used in the creation of ABAADA compliant Architectural Signage However the photo polymer does NOT produce a domed Braille dot And an application of paint to form the dome is required This material also used as a relief plate for flexographic printing can be used in plastics paper labels and sign inserts Some commercial brands worldwide include DuPont Cyrel BASF Nyloflex Novacryl Elaslon McDermid and Soleflex Exaprint

The basic material is soft and light sensitive A selective exposure to UV lamps is then applied then developed and cured the procedure involves exposing image wise a photopolymerizable element to actinic radiation emitting at a wavelength in the range of 365 nm removing the unexposed or unpolymerized areas of the plate with solvent drying the resulting plate The photopolymerized element can then be detackified by exposing the element to UV radiation emitting a wavelength in the range of 254 nm To ensure final plate hardening and photopolymerization the printing element can be further post-exposed to radiation emitting at wavelengths in the range of 365 nm

Introduction Sustainability

Sustainability Executive Order (EO) 13514 ldquoFederal Leadership in Environmental Energy and Economic Performancerdquo was signed by President Obama on 5 October 2009 This EO does not rescindeliminate the requirements of EO 13423 Instead it expands on the energy reduction and environmental performance requirements for Federal agencies identified in EO 13423

The goal of EO 13514 is ldquoto establish an integrated strategy towards sustainability in the Federal Government and to make reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) a priority for Federal agenciesrdquo

Towards meeting that goal Federal agencies are required to meet a series of deadshylines critical to achieving the GHG reduction goals of the EO This EO also sets non-numerical targets that agencies must reach The full text of the required targets and strategies can be found within Executive Order 13514

Green Strategies for Signs

Signs in and of themselves are not an item that can be considered ldquogreenrdquo or a LEEDreg product or product created from materials that are recycled However there are many elements related to signs that can contribute to accomplishing a green strategy for signs

bull Look into working with a sign company that does environmentally responsible production

Ask what programs a company has in place for things like solvent use reducshytion water conservation disposal and recycling of manufacturing waste and by products Do they use low VOC paints do they use T5 or T8 bulbs in building ilshyluminated signs do they build illuminated signs and letters with LED lighting do they install signs on the wall with mechanical fasteners instead of glue

bull Analyze the various elements of the design fabrication installation and product life cycle to eliminate materials and methods that are contrary to the intent of sustainability

Look toward the use of durable materials that fit a signs application or location in order to extend the life of the sign Implement a design that allows for signing to be updated with discarding the entire sign Select materials that will not deteshyriate from weather or environmental conditions

Utilize signs that are constructed from a component based system that allows for message modification and that can incorporate changes without have to reshyplace the entire sign Recycle signs whenever possible

bull A sign program can aid in the qualifications of a building for a LEEDreg rating

A sign program can be developed that educates the public on the benefits of a green building It can highlight and identify elements systems and materials of a building that specifically contribute to the LEEDreg rating

bull Look specifically at materials involved in producing signs

A material such as aluminum is commonly used in signs can be recycled This is a better material selection than say wood even considering that wood is also a product that can be recycled The life cycle of a wood sign is considerably shorter than a sign made of aluminum so it enters the ldquowaste streamrdquo sooner

LEEDreg

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design

Sustainable Design

LEEDreg is an acronym for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design The LEEDreg green building certification system is the preeminent program for rating the design construction and operation of green buildings LEEDreg is a voluntary consensus-based national standard for developing high-performance sustainable (ldquogreenrdquo) buildings

By using less energy LEEDreg-certified buildings save money for individuals busishynesses and taxpayers reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to a healthier environment for residents workers and the larger community Emerging Technology is continually being challenged to meet the building industries ldquogreenrdquo goal The demand for green products is driving changes in material and fabrication Sustainable or ldquogreen buildingrdquo design and construction is the opportunity to use our resources more efficiently while creating healthier and more energy-efficient homes Although there is no magic formula success comes in the form of leaving a lighter footprint on the environment through conservation of resources while at the same time balancing energy-efficient cost-effective low-maintenance products for our construction needs In other words green building design involves achieving the delicate balance between building and the sustainable environment

Obtaining LEEDreg certification requires compliance with a minimum number of crishyteria affecting many aspects of a project from site selection to the recycled content of building materials While participation in the LEEDreg program has been mostly voluntary some government entities require that publicly funded projects apply for LEEDreg certification and other states and communities are considering this

Sign materials and fabrication methods can be ldquogreenrdquo Use of recycled materials for the substrate will help reduce environmental impact If a sign substrate is manufacshytured from recyclable materials such as glass metal and some photo polymers enshyvironmental impact can be reduced Selection of Low VOC Matthews Acrylic Base Paint offers eco friendly paint solution Paint that is applied through a specialized high volume low pressure (HVLP) paint applicator sprayer It provides superior color coating with minimal overspray reducing waste and VOCs or volatile organic comshypounds Power reduction can be made by the use of LED lighting LED illumination creates a high brightness that offers reliable illumination providing long lasting light LEDs consume very little energy and are effective in both interior and exterior illumishynated signage

Web Based Technology

Bar CodeTechnology Bar code technology could be utilized to assist with wayfinding For example a barcoded printed appointment card or patient identity card could be scanned at a barcode reader at the point of entry to the building to assist with navigation provide information as to appointment wait times lab work required or just directions to a specific office or departments If the barcode were on a smart phone the phones barcode image could be scanned and through text to speech technology the phone could continue to issue navigational information until the patient arrived at the destination

Mobile Devices Smart Phones

Web-based technologies can have a significant impact on how people interact with VA services and Medical Facilities A web search for services and general informashytion is often the first step for a visit of the facility Integration of the website with GPS Technology such as driving directions and pedestrian wayfinding and navigation can help to create a positive visit to the VA Web bases tools are changing the way we gather information plan a doctor visit scheduling appointments and fill preshyscriptions A VA Visit can be organized from finding a parking space arriving at the proper entrance to walking to a doctorrsquos office or medical department This techshynology will only assist thoughts clients with web access If a client does not have personal web access an interactive kiosk could be located at the main entry of the facility to provide navigational instructions or print out a map

ldquoIn the Fall of 2011 approximately 25 of cell phone users had smart phones It is projected that by 2113 50 of phones will be smartphones A growing number of applications (apps) for smart phones have a direct impact on wayfinding and signage Though this technology may not reach all VA patients and visitors cell phones are a growing segment of VA users Mobile apps can assist with directions appointments health information events and medical educationrdquo

GPS

Global Positioning Systems

GPS navigation software for Tablets Smartphones Pocket phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) is revolutionizing the way people navigate These smart phones powered with apps for GPS and mapping technology can assist with way-finding needs One such solution is specifically designed to serve as a navigation aid for mobile devices Though it is a separately licensed product the mobile app is seamlessly integrated with popular screen readers The Loadstone project Mobile Geo and Code Factoryrsquos GPS navigation software are developing software for satshyellite navigation for blind and visually impaired users The software runs currently on many different Nokia devices with the S60 platform under all versions of the Symbian operating system A GPS receiver must be connected to the cell phone by Bluetooth Blind and visually impaired people around the world are using cell phones because there are two screen reader products for the S60 Symbian platshyform Talks from Nuance Communications and Mobile Speak from Code Factory making these devices accessible by output of synthetic speech

Along with the use of speech recognition and translation software GPS technology can pinpoint your location assist in learning about the points of interest (POIs) in your immediate vicinity plan a route between specified points of origin and destinashytion and get instructions on maneuvers to make as well as information about way-points along a route that you are following

RFID

Radio-Frequency Identification Device

ldquoRadio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) tag is a small electronic tag that stores transmits and receives information The RFID tag includes a small RF transshymitter and receiver An RFID reader transmits an encoded radio signal to interrogate the tag The tag receives the message and responds with its identification informashytion Many RFID tags do not use a battery Instead the tag uses the radio energy transmitted by the reader as its energy source The RFID system design includes a method of discriminating several tags that might be within the range of the RFID readerrdquo

ndash Wikipedia

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that uses radio waves to transfer data from an electronic tag called RFID tag or label attached to an object through a reader for the purpose of identifying and tracking the object Some RFID tags can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight of the readshyer The application of bulk reading enables an almost-parallel reading of tags

Appointment cards could be issued with RFI tags RFID readers could be installed at key intersections with in the Hospital An appointment card is scanned and direcshytional instructions are issued to help patients navigate the facility A central scanner could be located at a main Info desk to issue directional instructions

ldquoRadio frequency identification is a powerful emerging technology that enables companies to achieve total business visibility By knowing the identity location and conditions of assets tools inventory people and more companies can optimize business processes and reduce operational costsrdquo

bull Resistive A resistive touchscreen panel is composed of several layers the most important of which are two thin electrically conductive layers separated by a narrow gap When an object such as a finger presses down on a point on the panelrsquos outer surface the two metallic layers become connected at that point the panel then behaves as a pair of voltage dividers with connected outputs This causes a change in the electrical current which is registered as a touch event and sent to the controller for processing The cover sheet conshysists of a hard outer surface with a coated inner side When the outer layer is touched it causes the conductive layers to touch creating a signal that the analog controller can interpret and determine what the user wants to be done Resistive touch is used in restaurants factories and hospitals due to its high reshysistance to liquids and contaminants A major benefit of resistive touch technolshyogy is it is extremely cost-effective One disadvantage of resistive technology is its vulnerability of being damaged by sharp objects

bull Surface acoustic wave Surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology uses ultrashysonic waves that pass over the touchscreen panel When the panel is touched a portion of the wave is absorbed This change in the ultrasonic waves registers the position of the touch event and sends this information to the controller for processing Surface wave touchscreen panels can be damaged by outside eleshyments Contaminants on the surface can also interfere with the functionality of the touchscreen

bull Capacitive touchscreen of a mobile phone A capacitive touchscreen panel consists of an insulator such as glass coated with a transparent conductor such as indium tin oxide As the human body is also an electrical conductor touching the surface of the screen results in a distortion of the screenrsquos electroshystatic field measurable as a change in capacitance Different technologies may be used to determine the location of the touch The location is then sent to the controller for processing Unlike a resistive touchscreen one cannot use a cashypacitive touchscreen through most types of electrically insulating material such as gloves one requires a special capacitive stylus or a special-application glove with fingertips that generate static electricity This disadvantage espeshycially affects usability in consumer electronics such as touch tablet PCs and capacitive smartphones in cold weather

Illumination

LED

Light Emitting Diode

Emerging Technologies Lighting

The signage industry has been effected by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) and the energy reduction goals for federal agencies put forth in Executive Order 13423 to be adopted in 2012 These new federal standards introduces more aggressive requirements for three key provisions the Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards the Renewable Fuel Standard and the applishyancelighting efficiency standards To comply with these regulations the lighting industry has made advances and changes to illumination products in order to meet lighting efficiency standards Signage fabricators have adopted new illumination products offered by the lighting industry by shifting from the use of incandescent and fluorescent illumination to the more efficient halogen or LED illumination to meet economic ecological and regulatory goals

LEDs present many advantages over incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption longer lifetime improved robustness smaller size faster switching and greater durability and reliability LEDs powerful enough for room lighting are relatively expensive and require more precise current and heat manageshyment than compact fluorescent lamp sources of comparable output

LED flood lights powered by solar and battery back up are a good solutions for exshyterior signage and DOT road sign illumination LED solar with battery backup and power control systems technologies continues to make improvements in brightness longevity reliability and durability As these technologies advance more products will become available for commercial exterior illuminated signage applications The solar power systems with battery backup will extend illumination capabilities beshyyond 6 to 8 hour run times even on cloudy days LED illumination with solar power require no line voltage digging trenching and can be located in remote locations with limited scheduled maintenance for up to five years The ultra light bright and efficient LED fixtures continue to yield economic and safety benefits to illuminated exterior signage

Solar Illumination Current and emergent photovoltaic technologies make solar powered sign illuminashytion possible and practical

Photovoltaic Solar power supply in conjunction with LED illumination and electronic controls systems which integrated multi power sources can lend to a reliable and predictable power supply for illuminated signage Advancements are continually being made in both photovoltaic technology and sophisticated power management systems Battery backup of solar power source can be effective solution for remote stand-alone signage needs

While utilizing solar for powering illuminated signage can currently be accomshyplished there are certain challenges to be addressed for real time practical applicashytion particularly in the form of batteries As energy collection with solar panels imshyproves and new power management systems are developed along with LEDrsquos with higher light output and low electrical consumption batteries are and will remain the cornerstone of the system that needs development to allow installations to beshycome truly viable Look for many changes in this area in the upcoming years

Printing

Wide Format Printers

Emerging Technologies Digital Printing

In the past signage was painted or silk-screened graphics Advancements in digital printing continue to be make an impact on how signage is produced and designed Digital prints of maps for directories can be more colorful and pictorial The low cost of digital prints makes updates and changeable graphics possible Temporary signs and banners are cost effective weatherproof and can be produced quickly

The combination of technological advances in the materials or substrates to print on the inks and dyes to print with the digital printers and cutting equipment with-which to produce graphic continues to make marked improvement and increased signage capabilities The substrates in which stable images can be printed on has expanded Premium cast vinyl film designed for long-term outdoor signage is a flexible material for vehicle wraps Perforated material having a see through quality for windowbus wraps allow graphic to be placed on busses buildings windows elevator doors and almost any surface The difference of this enhanced resolution by high quality printers is unmistakable High-definition output is both brilliant and eye-catching Die sublimation is a printing process that allows for ink to penetrate various fabrics from very sheer see-through silks to UV stable inks on heavy awshyning canvas The Die-sub process has again expanded how and where a designer is able to place graphics

Large format printers printers with increasing resolution DPI (dots per inch) and printer speed impact graphic solutions and cost of on site graphics Large format printers can print on rolled paper or fabric of increasing widths Where once billshyboards where painted by hand now digital graphics can wrap an entire buildings Fabrication and computer controlled cutting technology allows for high production fabrication runs of fairly complex shapes All these production technologies are continually changing and advancing allowing for design solutions for signage to be cost effective and more creative

ldquoWide Format printers (contrast to vector-rendering plotters) are generally accepted to be any printer with a print width between 17 and 100 Printers over the 100rdquo mark may be called Super-Wide or Grand format Wide format printers are used to print banners posters and general signage and in some cases may be more ecoshynomical than short-run methods such as screen-printing Wide format printers genshyerally use a roll of print material rather than individual sheets and may incorporate hot-air dryers to prevent prints from sticking to themselves as they are producedrdquo

Digital Printing Categories

Digital printing is categorized according to ink used

bull Aqueous Thermal or Piezo inkjet printers using ink known as aqueous or water-based The term ldquowater baserdquo is a generally accepted misnomer The pigment is held in a non-reactive carrier solution that is sometimes water and other times a substitute liquid including a soy based liquid used by Kodak Aqueous ink generally comes in two flavors Dye and UV (alternatively known as pigment) Dye ink is high color low UV-resistant variety that offers the widest color gamut UV ink is generally duller in color but withstands fading from UV rays Similar in general principal to desktop inkjet printers Finished prints usshying dye inks must be laminated to protect them if they are to be used outdoors while prints using UV inks can be used outdoors un-laminated for a limited time Various materials are available including canvases banners metabolized plasshytic and cloth Aqueous technology requires that all materials be properly coated to accept and hold the ink

Printing Emerging Technologies Digital Printing and Laminates

bull Solvent ink This term is used to describe any ink that is not water-based Piezo inkjet printers whose inks use petroleum or a petroleum by-product such as acetone as its carrier liquid ldquoEco-solventrdquo inks usually contain glycol esters or glycol ether esters and are slower drying The resulting prints are waterproof Solvent inks may be used to print directly on uncoated vinyl and other media as well as ridged substrates such as Foam Board and PVC

bull Dye sublimation Inks are diffused into the special print media to produce continuous-tone prints of photographic quality

bull UV Piezo inkjet printers whose inks are UV-curable (dry when cured with UV light) The resulting prints are waterproof embossed and vibrant Any media material can be used in this technology polymer made media are best Ceramics glass metals and woods are also used with printing with this technology Important features of these UV-stable polyester films include low transmission of ultraviolet light high mechanical strength and good dimensional stability They also enable good adhesive bond strength to be achieved in coating printing and laminating The UV resistant ldquoHOSTAPHANreg Protective Filmsrdquo from Mitsubishi Polyester Film GmbH are biaxially oriented films made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) These polyester films offer good weathering resistance and very high absorption of UV radiation

ndash Alpha Imaging Wikipedia

Laminate Types The end result of digital printing is not always a flexible product Digital prints can be laminated on substrates to produce ridged panel graphics This type of product is excellent for out door use or interior high traffic wall panel installations Graphics with laminate protection extends the durability of a graphic panel with vandal resisshytant UV stable and waterproof qualities Below are some of the laminate options available in the sign industry

ndash Artcraft

bull Matte laminates Matte laminates provide the most protection against surface glare from lights The frosted surface however can make colors appear less intense and some brands are more susceptible to scratching Gloss laminates make colors appear vivid and bright but have serious glare problems and can scratch easily as well Often the best compromise is a lustre (satin) laminate It allows good color quality and minimizes glare

bull Graffiti-resistant laminates Graffiti-resistant laminates are made of a Teflon-like substance and allow for spray paint and felt pens to be washed right off The toughest come in high-gloss only These products cannot be used in conshyjunction with any plastic substrates There are serious compatibility issues

bull Scratch-resistant laminates Scratch-resistant laminates have textured surshyfaces The greater the texture the tougher the laminate but the more the color and image quality are compromised Polycarbonate laminates are the toughest of these but are too thick for edge-wrapping

bull Hot laminates Hot laminates become rigid when they cool The thicker the film the more rigid it becomes Standard thicknesses are 3 mil 5 mil and 10 mil 10 mil on both sides of a print becomes 20 mil when heated together These laminates have no UV rating donrsquot work well outdoors and donrsquot stick well to many types of digital prints This necessitates leaving an overlap of laminate around the edge of the print to seal it all in (known as encapsulation) Hot lamishynates are also available in matte or gloss

Printing Emerging Technologies Advancements in Cutting Routing and Milling

Graphic Image Digital Laminate

Routing

By far the most advanced technologically Graphic Imaging is a custom print option that captures full color photographic images Graphic Imaging can replicate images created on computer or designs that can be scanned electronically Since graphic image process is a full color reproduction the appearance of the print presents itself in a digital format Image resolution of 300 dpi or higher can produce clear images on a large finished replication One of the key factors to keep in mind about graphic image production is that a vendor can only reproduce the quality of what is given to then For example if the only available artwork is a faxed copy of a copy then our finished laminate will only duplicate that art In some cases Some vendors can recreate artwork images however this is time consuming and expensive to accomplish

Graphic panels do not need to be rectangles any more With the advancement in computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting systems the complexity of the cut shape is no longer a major design concern Most production runs for ridged panel substrates are done on various CNC cutting tables with plasma waterjet or milling and routing capabilities

A CNC Router is a numerical control tool that cuts objects from wood or plastic Parts of a project can be designed in the computer with a CADCAM program and then cut automatically using a router to produce a finished part The CNC router works like a printer Work is composed on a computer and then the design or drawshying is sent to the CNC router for the hard copy This outputs a 3-dimensional copy of the work The CNC router uses a cutting tool following the vector based computer instructions in Cartesian coordinate system (X Y Z) for 3D motion control This gives the computer a printer-like ability to drive a CNC machine to make dimensionshyal letters and other sign parts

Cutting Plasma Cutting is a process that is used to cut steel and other metals of different thicknesses (or sometimes other materials) using a plasma torch In this process an inert gas (in some units compressed air) is blown at high speed out of a nozzle at the same time an electrical arc is formed through that gas from the nozzle to the surface being cut turning some of that gas to plasma The plasma is sufficiently hot to melt the metal being cut and moves sufficiently fast to blow molten metal away from the cut Plasma is an effective means of cutting thin and thick materials alike Hand-held torches can usually cut up to 2 inches (51 mm) thick steel plate and stronger computer-controlled torches can cut steel up to 6 inches (150 mm) thick Since plasma cutters produce a very hot and very localized ldquoconerdquo to cut with they are extremely useful for cutting sheet metal in curved or angled shapes

Freehand Cut of a Thick Steel Plate The HF Contact type uses a high frequency high-voltage spark to ionize the air through the torch head and initiate an arc These require the torch to be in contact with the job material when starting and so are not suitable for applications involving computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting

The Pilot Arc type uses a two-cycle approach to producing plasma avoiding the need for initial contact First a high-voltage low current circuit is used to initialize a very small high-intensity spark within the torch body thereby generating a small pocket of plasma gas This is referred to as the pilot arc The pilot arc has a return electrical path built into the torch head The pilot arc will maintain itself until it is brought into proximity of the work piece where it ignites the main plasma-cutting arc Plasma arcs are extremely hot and are in the range of 25000 degC (45000 degF)

Water Jet Cutting

ldquoThe water jet is unparalleled in many aspects of cutting and has changed the way many products are manufactured Many types of water jets exist today including pure water jets (water only) abrasive water jets percussive water jets cavitation jets and hybrid jets Operation of the cutter is commonly connected to a high-presshysure water pump where the water is then ejected from the nozzle cutting through the material by spraying it with the jet of high-speed water Additives in the form of suspended grit or other abrasives such as garnet and aluminum oxide can assist in this process

An important benefit of the water jet cutter is the ability to cut material without intershyfering with the materialrsquos inherent structure as there is no ldquoheat-affected zonerdquo Water jet cutters are also capable of producing rather intricate cuts in material With speshycialized software and 3-D machining heads complex 3-D shapes can be produced

Advances in control and motion technology 5-axis water jet cutting (abrasive and pure) has become a reality

Water jet is considered a ldquogreenrdquo technology Water jets produce no hazardous waste reducing waste disposal costs They can cut off large pieces of reusable scrap material that might have been lost using traditional cutting methods Parts can be closely nested to maximize material use and the water jet saves material by creating very little kerf Water jets use very little water (a half gallon to approximately one gallon per minute depending on cutting head orifice size) and the water that is used can be recycled using a closed-looped system Wastewater usually is clean enough to filter and dispose of down a drain The garnet abrasive is a non-toxic natural substance that can be recycled for repeated use Garnet usually can be disposed of in a landfill Water jets also eliminate airborne dust particles smoke fumes and contaminants from cutting materials such as asbestos and fiberglass This greatly improves the work environment and reduces problems arising from operator exposurerdquo

Photo Polymer

Advancements in Materials

ldquoA photopolymer is a polymer that changes its properties when exposed to light often in the ultraviolet spectrum These polymers are useful in dentistry for fillings and in rapid prototyping in the stereo lithography and 3D printing processes In the past this material was also used in the creation of ABAADA compliant Architectural Signage However the photo polymer does NOT produce a domed Braille dot And an application of paint to form the dome is required This material also used as a relief plate for flexographic printing can be used in plastics paper labels and sign inserts Some commercial brands worldwide include DuPont Cyrel BASF Nyloflex Novacryl Elaslon McDermid and Soleflex Exaprint

The basic material is soft and light sensitive A selective exposure to UV lamps is then applied then developed and cured the procedure involves exposing image wise a photopolymerizable element to actinic radiation emitting at a wavelength in the range of 365 nm removing the unexposed or unpolymerized areas of the plate with solvent drying the resulting plate The photopolymerized element can then be detackified by exposing the element to UV radiation emitting a wavelength in the range of 254 nm To ensure final plate hardening and photopolymerization the printing element can be further post-exposed to radiation emitting at wavelengths in the range of 365 nm

Introduction Sustainability

Sustainability Executive Order (EO) 13514 ldquoFederal Leadership in Environmental Energy and Economic Performancerdquo was signed by President Obama on 5 October 2009 This EO does not rescindeliminate the requirements of EO 13423 Instead it expands on the energy reduction and environmental performance requirements for Federal agencies identified in EO 13423

The goal of EO 13514 is ldquoto establish an integrated strategy towards sustainability in the Federal Government and to make reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) a priority for Federal agenciesrdquo

Towards meeting that goal Federal agencies are required to meet a series of deadshylines critical to achieving the GHG reduction goals of the EO This EO also sets non-numerical targets that agencies must reach The full text of the required targets and strategies can be found within Executive Order 13514

Green Strategies for Signs

Signs in and of themselves are not an item that can be considered ldquogreenrdquo or a LEEDreg product or product created from materials that are recycled However there are many elements related to signs that can contribute to accomplishing a green strategy for signs

bull Look into working with a sign company that does environmentally responsible production

Ask what programs a company has in place for things like solvent use reducshytion water conservation disposal and recycling of manufacturing waste and by products Do they use low VOC paints do they use T5 or T8 bulbs in building ilshyluminated signs do they build illuminated signs and letters with LED lighting do they install signs on the wall with mechanical fasteners instead of glue

bull Analyze the various elements of the design fabrication installation and product life cycle to eliminate materials and methods that are contrary to the intent of sustainability

Look toward the use of durable materials that fit a signs application or location in order to extend the life of the sign Implement a design that allows for signing to be updated with discarding the entire sign Select materials that will not deteshyriate from weather or environmental conditions

Utilize signs that are constructed from a component based system that allows for message modification and that can incorporate changes without have to reshyplace the entire sign Recycle signs whenever possible

bull A sign program can aid in the qualifications of a building for a LEEDreg rating

A sign program can be developed that educates the public on the benefits of a green building It can highlight and identify elements systems and materials of a building that specifically contribute to the LEEDreg rating

bull Look specifically at materials involved in producing signs

A material such as aluminum is commonly used in signs can be recycled This is a better material selection than say wood even considering that wood is also a product that can be recycled The life cycle of a wood sign is considerably shorter than a sign made of aluminum so it enters the ldquowaste streamrdquo sooner

Web Based Technology

Bar CodeTechnology Bar code technology could be utilized to assist with wayfinding For example a barcoded printed appointment card or patient identity card could be scanned at a barcode reader at the point of entry to the building to assist with navigation provide information as to appointment wait times lab work required or just directions to a specific office or departments If the barcode were on a smart phone the phones barcode image could be scanned and through text to speech technology the phone could continue to issue navigational information until the patient arrived at the destination

Mobile Devices Smart Phones

Web-based technologies can have a significant impact on how people interact with VA services and Medical Facilities A web search for services and general informashytion is often the first step for a visit of the facility Integration of the website with GPS Technology such as driving directions and pedestrian wayfinding and navigation can help to create a positive visit to the VA Web bases tools are changing the way we gather information plan a doctor visit scheduling appointments and fill preshyscriptions A VA Visit can be organized from finding a parking space arriving at the proper entrance to walking to a doctorrsquos office or medical department This techshynology will only assist thoughts clients with web access If a client does not have personal web access an interactive kiosk could be located at the main entry of the facility to provide navigational instructions or print out a map

ldquoIn the Fall of 2011 approximately 25 of cell phone users had smart phones It is projected that by 2113 50 of phones will be smartphones A growing number of applications (apps) for smart phones have a direct impact on wayfinding and signage Though this technology may not reach all VA patients and visitors cell phones are a growing segment of VA users Mobile apps can assist with directions appointments health information events and medical educationrdquo

RFID

Radio-Frequency Identification Device

ldquoRadio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) tag is a small electronic tag that stores transmits and receives information The RFID tag includes a small RF transshymitter and receiver An RFID reader transmits an encoded radio signal to interrogate the tag The tag receives the message and responds with its identification informashytion Many RFID tags do not use a battery Instead the tag uses the radio energy transmitted by the reader as its energy source The RFID system design includes a method of discriminating several tags that might be within the range of the RFID readerrdquo

ndash Wikipedia

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that uses radio waves to transfer data from an electronic tag called RFID tag or label attached to an object through a reader for the purpose of identifying and tracking the object Some RFID tags can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight of the readshyer The application of bulk reading enables an almost-parallel reading of tags

Appointment cards could be issued with RFI tags RFID readers could be installed at key intersections with in the Hospital An appointment card is scanned and direcshytional instructions are issued to help patients navigate the facility A central scanner could be located at a main Info desk to issue directional instructions

ldquoRadio frequency identification is a powerful emerging technology that enables companies to achieve total business visibility By knowing the identity location and conditions of assets tools inventory people and more companies can optimize business processes and reduce operational costsrdquo

bull Resistive A resistive touchscreen panel is composed of several layers the most important of which are two thin electrically conductive layers separated by a narrow gap When an object such as a finger presses down on a point on the panelrsquos outer surface the two metallic layers become connected at that point the panel then behaves as a pair of voltage dividers with connected outputs This causes a change in the electrical current which is registered as a touch event and sent to the controller for processing The cover sheet conshysists of a hard outer surface with a coated inner side When the outer layer is touched it causes the conductive layers to touch creating a signal that the analog controller can interpret and determine what the user wants to be done Resistive touch is used in restaurants factories and hospitals due to its high reshysistance to liquids and contaminants A major benefit of resistive touch technolshyogy is it is extremely cost-effective One disadvantage of resistive technology is its vulnerability of being damaged by sharp objects

bull Surface acoustic wave Surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology uses ultrashysonic waves that pass over the touchscreen panel When the panel is touched a portion of the wave is absorbed This change in the ultrasonic waves registers the position of the touch event and sends this information to the controller for processing Surface wave touchscreen panels can be damaged by outside eleshyments Contaminants on the surface can also interfere with the functionality of the touchscreen

bull Capacitive touchscreen of a mobile phone A capacitive touchscreen panel consists of an insulator such as glass coated with a transparent conductor such as indium tin oxide As the human body is also an electrical conductor touching the surface of the screen results in a distortion of the screenrsquos electroshystatic field measurable as a change in capacitance Different technologies may be used to determine the location of the touch The location is then sent to the controller for processing Unlike a resistive touchscreen one cannot use a cashypacitive touchscreen through most types of electrically insulating material such as gloves one requires a special capacitive stylus or a special-application glove with fingertips that generate static electricity This disadvantage espeshycially affects usability in consumer electronics such as touch tablet PCs and capacitive smartphones in cold weather

Touch Screen Applications

An Interactive Kiosk has a touch screen requiring a visitorrsquos interaction The comshybination of voice recognition technology and 3-D animation a kiosk can contain a virtual attendant or an Avatar The Avatar in a kiosk can dispense directional inforshymation in more of an active interaction The Avatar may be programed to ldquoreach out to the visitor and offer assistance prior to a request for information Equipped with speakers receivers and motion sensor the avatar can ldquoreach outrdquo and offer assisshytant and information

Interactive kiosk with a paper print out can provide ldquoold Schoolrdquo maps or directions for visitors As well as maps an interactive kiosk can print marketing material and event schedules Self-service kiosk solution combines cutting edge LCD technology progressive design and proprietary software With virtual Concierge software an unlimited amount of brochures can be displayed on your kiosk as well as a solution for multilingual issues

Illumination

LED

Light Emitting Diode

Emerging Technologies Lighting

The signage industry has been effected by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) and the energy reduction goals for federal agencies put forth in Executive Order 13423 to be adopted in 2012 These new federal standards introduces more aggressive requirements for three key provisions the Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards the Renewable Fuel Standard and the applishyancelighting efficiency standards To comply with these regulations the lighting industry has made advances and changes to illumination products in order to meet lighting efficiency standards Signage fabricators have adopted new illumination products offered by the lighting industry by shifting from the use of incandescent and fluorescent illumination to the more efficient halogen or LED illumination to meet economic ecological and regulatory goals

LEDs present many advantages over incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption longer lifetime improved robustness smaller size faster switching and greater durability and reliability LEDs powerful enough for room lighting are relatively expensive and require more precise current and heat manageshyment than compact fluorescent lamp sources of comparable output

LED flood lights powered by solar and battery back up are a good solutions for exshyterior signage and DOT road sign illumination LED solar with battery backup and power control systems technologies continues to make improvements in brightness longevity reliability and durability As these technologies advance more products will become available for commercial exterior illuminated signage applications The solar power systems with battery backup will extend illumination capabilities beshyyond 6 to 8 hour run times even on cloudy days LED illumination with solar power require no line voltage digging trenching and can be located in remote locations with limited scheduled maintenance for up to five years The ultra light bright and efficient LED fixtures continue to yield economic and safety benefits to illuminated exterior signage

Solar Illumination Current and emergent photovoltaic technologies make solar powered sign illuminashytion possible and practical

Photovoltaic Solar power supply in conjunction with LED illumination and electronic controls systems which integrated multi power sources can lend to a reliable and predictable power supply for illuminated signage Advancements are continually being made in both photovoltaic technology and sophisticated power management systems Battery backup of solar power source can be effective solution for remote stand-alone signage needs

While utilizing solar for powering illuminated signage can currently be accomshyplished there are certain challenges to be addressed for real time practical applicashytion particularly in the form of batteries As energy collection with solar panels imshyproves and new power management systems are developed along with LEDrsquos with higher light output and low electrical consumption batteries are and will remain the cornerstone of the system that needs development to allow installations to beshycome truly viable Look for many changes in this area in the upcoming years

Printing

Wide Format Printers

Emerging Technologies Digital Printing

In the past signage was painted or silk-screened graphics Advancements in digital printing continue to be make an impact on how signage is produced and designed Digital prints of maps for directories can be more colorful and pictorial The low cost of digital prints makes updates and changeable graphics possible Temporary signs and banners are cost effective weatherproof and can be produced quickly

The combination of technological advances in the materials or substrates to print on the inks and dyes to print with the digital printers and cutting equipment with-which to produce graphic continues to make marked improvement and increased signage capabilities The substrates in which stable images can be printed on has expanded Premium cast vinyl film designed for long-term outdoor signage is a flexible material for vehicle wraps Perforated material having a see through quality for windowbus wraps allow graphic to be placed on busses buildings windows elevator doors and almost any surface The difference of this enhanced resolution by high quality printers is unmistakable High-definition output is both brilliant and eye-catching Die sublimation is a printing process that allows for ink to penetrate various fabrics from very sheer see-through silks to UV stable inks on heavy awshyning canvas The Die-sub process has again expanded how and where a designer is able to place graphics

Large format printers printers with increasing resolution DPI (dots per inch) and printer speed impact graphic solutions and cost of on site graphics Large format printers can print on rolled paper or fabric of increasing widths Where once billshyboards where painted by hand now digital graphics can wrap an entire buildings Fabrication and computer controlled cutting technology allows for high production fabrication runs of fairly complex shapes All these production technologies are continually changing and advancing allowing for design solutions for signage to be cost effective and more creative

ldquoWide Format printers (contrast to vector-rendering plotters) are generally accepted to be any printer with a print width between 17 and 100 Printers over the 100rdquo mark may be called Super-Wide or Grand format Wide format printers are used to print banners posters and general signage and in some cases may be more ecoshynomical than short-run methods such as screen-printing Wide format printers genshyerally use a roll of print material rather than individual sheets and may incorporate hot-air dryers to prevent prints from sticking to themselves as they are producedrdquo

Digital Printing Categories

Digital printing is categorized according to ink used

bull Aqueous Thermal or Piezo inkjet printers using ink known as aqueous or water-based The term ldquowater baserdquo is a generally accepted misnomer The pigment is held in a non-reactive carrier solution that is sometimes water and other times a substitute liquid including a soy based liquid used by Kodak Aqueous ink generally comes in two flavors Dye and UV (alternatively known as pigment) Dye ink is high color low UV-resistant variety that offers the widest color gamut UV ink is generally duller in color but withstands fading from UV rays Similar in general principal to desktop inkjet printers Finished prints usshying dye inks must be laminated to protect them if they are to be used outdoors while prints using UV inks can be used outdoors un-laminated for a limited time Various materials are available including canvases banners metabolized plasshytic and cloth Aqueous technology requires that all materials be properly coated to accept and hold the ink

bull Solvent ink This term is used to describe any ink that is not water-based Piezo inkjet printers whose inks use petroleum or a petroleum by-product such as acetone as its carrier liquid ldquoEco-solventrdquo inks usually contain glycol esters or glycol ether esters and are slower drying The resulting prints are waterproof Solvent inks may be used to print directly on uncoated vinyl and other media as well as ridged substrates such as Foam Board and PVC

bull Dye sublimation Inks are diffused into the special print media to produce continuous-tone prints of photographic quality

bull UV Piezo inkjet printers whose inks are UV-curable (dry when cured with UV light) The resulting prints are waterproof embossed and vibrant Any media material can be used in this technology polymer made media are best Ceramics glass metals and woods are also used with printing with this technology Important features of these UV-stable polyester films include low transmission of ultraviolet light high mechanical strength and good dimensional stability They also enable good adhesive bond strength to be achieved in coating printing and laminating The UV resistant ldquoHOSTAPHANreg Protective Filmsrdquo from Mitsubishi Polyester Film GmbH are biaxially oriented films made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) These polyester films offer good weathering resistance and very high absorption of UV radiation

Laminate Types The end result of digital printing is not always a flexible product Digital prints can be laminated on substrates to produce ridged panel graphics This type of product is excellent for out door use or interior high traffic wall panel installations Graphics with laminate protection extends the durability of a graphic panel with vandal resisshytant UV stable and waterproof qualities Below are some of the laminate options available in the sign industry

ndash Artcraft

bull Matte laminates Matte laminates provide the most protection against surface glare from lights The frosted surface however can make colors appear less intense and some brands are more susceptible to scratching Gloss laminates make colors appear vivid and bright but have serious glare problems and can scratch easily as well Often the best compromise is a lustre (satin) laminate It allows good color quality and minimizes glare

bull Graffiti-resistant laminates Graffiti-resistant laminates are made of a Teflon-like substance and allow for spray paint and felt pens to be washed right off The toughest come in high-gloss only These products cannot be used in conshyjunction with any plastic substrates There are serious compatibility issues

bull Scratch-resistant laminates Scratch-resistant laminates have textured surshyfaces The greater the texture the tougher the laminate but the more the color and image quality are compromised Polycarbonate laminates are the toughest of these but are too thick for edge-wrapping

bull Hot laminates Hot laminates become rigid when they cool The thicker the film the more rigid it becomes Standard thicknesses are 3 mil 5 mil and 10 mil 10 mil on both sides of a print becomes 20 mil when heated together These laminates have no UV rating donrsquot work well outdoors and donrsquot stick well to many types of digital prints This necessitates leaving an overlap of laminate around the edge of the print to seal it all in (known as encapsulation) Hot lamishynates are also available in matte or gloss

Printing Emerging Technologies Advancements in Cutting Routing and Milling

Graphic Image Digital Laminate

Routing

By far the most advanced technologically Graphic Imaging is a custom print option that captures full color photographic images Graphic Imaging can replicate images created on computer or designs that can be scanned electronically Since graphic image process is a full color reproduction the appearance of the print presents itself in a digital format Image resolution of 300 dpi or higher can produce clear images on a large finished replication One of the key factors to keep in mind about graphic image production is that a vendor can only reproduce the quality of what is given to then For example if the only available artwork is a faxed copy of a copy then our finished laminate will only duplicate that art In some cases Some vendors can recreate artwork images however this is time consuming and expensive to accomplish

Graphic panels do not need to be rectangles any more With the advancement in computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting systems the complexity of the cut shape is no longer a major design concern Most production runs for ridged panel substrates are done on various CNC cutting tables with plasma waterjet or milling and routing capabilities

A CNC Router is a numerical control tool that cuts objects from wood or plastic Parts of a project can be designed in the computer with a CADCAM program and then cut automatically using a router to produce a finished part The CNC router works like a printer Work is composed on a computer and then the design or drawshying is sent to the CNC router for the hard copy This outputs a 3-dimensional copy of the work The CNC router uses a cutting tool following the vector based computer instructions in Cartesian coordinate system (X Y Z) for 3D motion control This gives the computer a printer-like ability to drive a CNC machine to make dimensionshyal letters and other sign parts

Cutting Plasma Cutting is a process that is used to cut steel and other metals of different thicknesses (or sometimes other materials) using a plasma torch In this process an inert gas (in some units compressed air) is blown at high speed out of a nozzle at the same time an electrical arc is formed through that gas from the nozzle to the surface being cut turning some of that gas to plasma The plasma is sufficiently hot to melt the metal being cut and moves sufficiently fast to blow molten metal away from the cut Plasma is an effective means of cutting thin and thick materials alike Hand-held torches can usually cut up to 2 inches (51 mm) thick steel plate and stronger computer-controlled torches can cut steel up to 6 inches (150 mm) thick Since plasma cutters produce a very hot and very localized ldquoconerdquo to cut with they are extremely useful for cutting sheet metal in curved or angled shapes

Freehand Cut of a Thick Steel Plate The HF Contact type uses a high frequency high-voltage spark to ionize the air through the torch head and initiate an arc These require the torch to be in contact with the job material when starting and so are not suitable for applications involving computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting

The Pilot Arc type uses a two-cycle approach to producing plasma avoiding the need for initial contact First a high-voltage low current circuit is used to initialize a very small high-intensity spark within the torch body thereby generating a small pocket of plasma gas This is referred to as the pilot arc The pilot arc has a return electrical path built into the torch head The pilot arc will maintain itself until it is brought into proximity of the work piece where it ignites the main plasma-cutting arc Plasma arcs are extremely hot and are in the range of 25000 degC (45000 degF)

Water Jet Cutting

ldquoThe water jet is unparalleled in many aspects of cutting and has changed the way many products are manufactured Many types of water jets exist today including pure water jets (water only) abrasive water jets percussive water jets cavitation jets and hybrid jets Operation of the cutter is commonly connected to a high-presshysure water pump where the water is then ejected from the nozzle cutting through the material by spraying it with the jet of high-speed water Additives in the form of suspended grit or other abrasives such as garnet and aluminum oxide can assist in this process

An important benefit of the water jet cutter is the ability to cut material without intershyfering with the materialrsquos inherent structure as there is no ldquoheat-affected zonerdquo Water jet cutters are also capable of producing rather intricate cuts in material With speshycialized software and 3-D machining heads complex 3-D shapes can be produced

Advances in control and motion technology 5-axis water jet cutting (abrasive and pure) has become a reality

Water jet is considered a ldquogreenrdquo technology Water jets produce no hazardous waste reducing waste disposal costs They can cut off large pieces of reusable scrap material that might have been lost using traditional cutting methods Parts can be closely nested to maximize material use and the water jet saves material by creating very little kerf Water jets use very little water (a half gallon to approximately one gallon per minute depending on cutting head orifice size) and the water that is used can be recycled using a closed-looped system Wastewater usually is clean enough to filter and dispose of down a drain The garnet abrasive is a non-toxic natural substance that can be recycled for repeated use Garnet usually can be disposed of in a landfill Water jets also eliminate airborne dust particles smoke fumes and contaminants from cutting materials such as asbestos and fiberglass This greatly improves the work environment and reduces problems arising from operator exposurerdquo

Photo Polymer

Advancements in Materials

ldquoA photopolymer is a polymer that changes its properties when exposed to light often in the ultraviolet spectrum These polymers are useful in dentistry for fillings and in rapid prototyping in the stereo lithography and 3D printing processes In the past this material was also used in the creation of ABAADA compliant Architectural Signage However the photo polymer does NOT produce a domed Braille dot And an application of paint to form the dome is required This material also used as a relief plate for flexographic printing can be used in plastics paper labels and sign inserts Some commercial brands worldwide include DuPont Cyrel BASF Nyloflex Novacryl Elaslon McDermid and Soleflex Exaprint

The basic material is soft and light sensitive A selective exposure to UV lamps is then applied then developed and cured the procedure involves exposing image wise a photopolymerizable element to actinic radiation emitting at a wavelength in the range of 365 nm removing the unexposed or unpolymerized areas of the plate with solvent drying the resulting plate The photopolymerized element can then be detackified by exposing the element to UV radiation emitting a wavelength in the range of 254 nm To ensure final plate hardening and photopolymerization the printing element can be further post-exposed to radiation emitting at wavelengths in the range of 365 nm

Current platemaking processes utilize various sources of radiation for developing relief images and maximizing plate hardening For example actinic radiation from a variety of sources can be used including commercial ultraviolet fluorescent tubes medium high and low pressure mercury vapor lamps argon glow lamps photographic flood lamps pulsed xenon lamps carbon arc lamps etc Called photopolymeric flexographic relief printing plates in the flexographic printing plate industry because maximum consistent print quality will be obtained using plates with reduced shrinkagerdquo

Introduction Sustainability

Sustainability Executive Order (EO) 13514 ldquoFederal Leadership in Environmental Energy and Economic Performancerdquo was signed by President Obama on 5 October 2009 This EO does not rescindeliminate the requirements of EO 13423 Instead it expands on the energy reduction and environmental performance requirements for Federal agencies identified in EO 13423

The goal of EO 13514 is ldquoto establish an integrated strategy towards sustainability in the Federal Government and to make reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) a priority for Federal agenciesrdquo

Towards meeting that goal Federal agencies are required to meet a series of deadshylines critical to achieving the GHG reduction goals of the EO This EO also sets non-numerical targets that agencies must reach The full text of the required targets and strategies can be found within Executive Order 13514

Green Strategies for Signs

Signs in and of themselves are not an item that can be considered ldquogreenrdquo or a LEEDreg product or product created from materials that are recycled However there are many elements related to signs that can contribute to accomplishing a green strategy for signs

bull Look into working with a sign company that does environmentally responsible production

Ask what programs a company has in place for things like solvent use reducshytion water conservation disposal and recycling of manufacturing waste and by products Do they use low VOC paints do they use T5 or T8 bulbs in building ilshyluminated signs do they build illuminated signs and letters with LED lighting do they install signs on the wall with mechanical fasteners instead of glue

bull Analyze the various elements of the design fabrication installation and product life cycle to eliminate materials and methods that are contrary to the intent of sustainability

Look toward the use of durable materials that fit a signs application or location in order to extend the life of the sign Implement a design that allows for signing to be updated with discarding the entire sign Select materials that will not deteshyriate from weather or environmental conditions

Utilize signs that are constructed from a component based system that allows for message modification and that can incorporate changes without have to reshyplace the entire sign Recycle signs whenever possible

bull A sign program can aid in the qualifications of a building for a LEEDreg rating

A sign program can be developed that educates the public on the benefits of a green building It can highlight and identify elements systems and materials of a building that specifically contribute to the LEEDreg rating

bull Look specifically at materials involved in producing signs

A material such as aluminum is commonly used in signs can be recycled This is a better material selection than say wood even considering that wood is also a product that can be recycled The life cycle of a wood sign is considerably shorter than a sign made of aluminum so it enters the ldquowaste streamrdquo sooner

RFID

Radio-Frequency Identification Device

ldquoRadio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) tag is a small electronic tag that stores transmits and receives information The RFID tag includes a small RF transshymitter and receiver An RFID reader transmits an encoded radio signal to interrogate the tag The tag receives the message and responds with its identification informashytion Many RFID tags do not use a battery Instead the tag uses the radio energy transmitted by the reader as its energy source The RFID system design includes a method of discriminating several tags that might be within the range of the RFID readerrdquo

ndash Wikipedia

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that uses radio waves to transfer data from an electronic tag called RFID tag or label attached to an object through a reader for the purpose of identifying and tracking the object Some RFID tags can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight of the readshyer The application of bulk reading enables an almost-parallel reading of tags

Appointment cards could be issued with RFI tags RFID readers could be installed at key intersections with in the Hospital An appointment card is scanned and direcshytional instructions are issued to help patients navigate the facility A central scanner could be located at a main Info desk to issue directional instructions

ldquoRadio frequency identification is a powerful emerging technology that enables companies to achieve total business visibility By knowing the identity location and conditions of assets tools inventory people and more companies can optimize business processes and reduce operational costsrdquo

Touch Screen Displays

(continued)

bull Resistive A resistive touchscreen panel is composed of several layers the most important of which are two thin electrically conductive layers separated by a narrow gap When an object such as a finger presses down on a point on the panelrsquos outer surface the two metallic layers become connected at that point the panel then behaves as a pair of voltage dividers with connected outputs This causes a change in the electrical current which is registered as a touch event and sent to the controller for processing The cover sheet conshysists of a hard outer surface with a coated inner side When the outer layer is touched it causes the conductive layers to touch creating a signal that the analog controller can interpret and determine what the user wants to be done Resistive touch is used in restaurants factories and hospitals due to its high reshysistance to liquids and contaminants A major benefit of resistive touch technolshyogy is it is extremely cost-effective One disadvantage of resistive technology is its vulnerability of being damaged by sharp objects

bull Surface acoustic wave Surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology uses ultrashysonic waves that pass over the touchscreen panel When the panel is touched a portion of the wave is absorbed This change in the ultrasonic waves registers the position of the touch event and sends this information to the controller for processing Surface wave touchscreen panels can be damaged by outside eleshyments Contaminants on the surface can also interfere with the functionality of the touchscreen

bull Capacitive touchscreen of a mobile phone A capacitive touchscreen panel consists of an insulator such as glass coated with a transparent conductor such as indium tin oxide As the human body is also an electrical conductor touching the surface of the screen results in a distortion of the screenrsquos electroshystatic field measurable as a change in capacitance Different technologies may be used to determine the location of the touch The location is then sent to the controller for processing Unlike a resistive touchscreen one cannot use a cashypacitive touchscreen through most types of electrically insulating material such as gloves one requires a special capacitive stylus or a special-application glove with fingertips that generate static electricity This disadvantage espeshycially affects usability in consumer electronics such as touch tablet PCs and capacitive smartphones in cold weather

Touch Screen Applications

An Interactive Kiosk has a touch screen requiring a visitorrsquos interaction The comshybination of voice recognition technology and 3-D animation a kiosk can contain a virtual attendant or an Avatar The Avatar in a kiosk can dispense directional inforshymation in more of an active interaction The Avatar may be programed to ldquoreach out to the visitor and offer assistance prior to a request for information Equipped with speakers receivers and motion sensor the avatar can ldquoreach outrdquo and offer assisshytant and information

Interactive kiosk with a paper print out can provide ldquoold Schoolrdquo maps or directions for visitors As well as maps an interactive kiosk can print marketing material and event schedules Self-service kiosk solution combines cutting edge LCD technology progressive design and proprietary software With virtual Concierge software an unlimited amount of brochures can be displayed on your kiosk as well as a solution for multilingual issues

Illumination

LED

Light Emitting Diode

Emerging Technologies Lighting

The signage industry has been effected by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) and the energy reduction goals for federal agencies put forth in Executive Order 13423 to be adopted in 2012 These new federal standards introduces more aggressive requirements for three key provisions the Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards the Renewable Fuel Standard and the applishyancelighting efficiency standards To comply with these regulations the lighting industry has made advances and changes to illumination products in order to meet lighting efficiency standards Signage fabricators have adopted new illumination products offered by the lighting industry by shifting from the use of incandescent and fluorescent illumination to the more efficient halogen or LED illumination to meet economic ecological and regulatory goals

LEDs present many advantages over incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption longer lifetime improved robustness smaller size faster switching and greater durability and reliability LEDs powerful enough for room lighting are relatively expensive and require more precise current and heat manageshyment than compact fluorescent lamp sources of comparable output

LED flood lights powered by solar and battery back up are a good solutions for exshyterior signage and DOT road sign illumination LED solar with battery backup and power control systems technologies continues to make improvements in brightness longevity reliability and durability As these technologies advance more products will become available for commercial exterior illuminated signage applications The solar power systems with battery backup will extend illumination capabilities beshyyond 6 to 8 hour run times even on cloudy days LED illumination with solar power require no line voltage digging trenching and can be located in remote locations with limited scheduled maintenance for up to five years The ultra light bright and efficient LED fixtures continue to yield economic and safety benefits to illuminated exterior signage

Solar Illumination Current and emergent photovoltaic technologies make solar powered sign illuminashytion possible and practical

Photovoltaic Solar power supply in conjunction with LED illumination and electronic controls systems which integrated multi power sources can lend to a reliable and predictable power supply for illuminated signage Advancements are continually being made in both photovoltaic technology and sophisticated power management systems Battery backup of solar power source can be effective solution for remote stand-alone signage needs

While utilizing solar for powering illuminated signage can currently be accomshyplished there are certain challenges to be addressed for real time practical applicashytion particularly in the form of batteries As energy collection with solar panels imshyproves and new power management systems are developed along with LEDrsquos with higher light output and low electrical consumption batteries are and will remain the cornerstone of the system that needs development to allow installations to beshycome truly viable Look for many changes in this area in the upcoming years

Printing

Wide Format Printers

Emerging Technologies Digital Printing

In the past signage was painted or silk-screened graphics Advancements in digital printing continue to be make an impact on how signage is produced and designed Digital prints of maps for directories can be more colorful and pictorial The low cost of digital prints makes updates and changeable graphics possible Temporary signs and banners are cost effective weatherproof and can be produced quickly

The combination of technological advances in the materials or substrates to print on the inks and dyes to print with the digital printers and cutting equipment with-which to produce graphic continues to make marked improvement and increased signage capabilities The substrates in which stable images can be printed on has expanded Premium cast vinyl film designed for long-term outdoor signage is a flexible material for vehicle wraps Perforated material having a see through quality for windowbus wraps allow graphic to be placed on busses buildings windows elevator doors and almost any surface The difference of this enhanced resolution by high quality printers is unmistakable High-definition output is both brilliant and eye-catching Die sublimation is a printing process that allows for ink to penetrate various fabrics from very sheer see-through silks to UV stable inks on heavy awshyning canvas The Die-sub process has again expanded how and where a designer is able to place graphics

Large format printers printers with increasing resolution DPI (dots per inch) and printer speed impact graphic solutions and cost of on site graphics Large format printers can print on rolled paper or fabric of increasing widths Where once billshyboards where painted by hand now digital graphics can wrap an entire buildings Fabrication and computer controlled cutting technology allows for high production fabrication runs of fairly complex shapes All these production technologies are continually changing and advancing allowing for design solutions for signage to be cost effective and more creative

ldquoWide Format printers (contrast to vector-rendering plotters) are generally accepted to be any printer with a print width between 17 and 100 Printers over the 100rdquo mark may be called Super-Wide or Grand format Wide format printers are used to print banners posters and general signage and in some cases may be more ecoshynomical than short-run methods such as screen-printing Wide format printers genshyerally use a roll of print material rather than individual sheets and may incorporate hot-air dryers to prevent prints from sticking to themselves as they are producedrdquo

Digital Printing Categories

Digital printing is categorized according to ink used

bull Aqueous Thermal or Piezo inkjet printers using ink known as aqueous or water-based The term ldquowater baserdquo is a generally accepted misnomer The pigment is held in a non-reactive carrier solution that is sometimes water and other times a substitute liquid including a soy based liquid used by Kodak Aqueous ink generally comes in two flavors Dye and UV (alternatively known as pigment) Dye ink is high color low UV-resistant variety that offers the widest color gamut UV ink is generally duller in color but withstands fading from UV rays Similar in general principal to desktop inkjet printers Finished prints usshying dye inks must be laminated to protect them if they are to be used outdoors while prints using UV inks can be used outdoors un-laminated for a limited time Various materials are available including canvases banners metabolized plasshytic and cloth Aqueous technology requires that all materials be properly coated to accept and hold the ink

Printing Emerging Technologies Digital Printing and Laminates

bull Solvent ink This term is used to describe any ink that is not water-based Piezo inkjet printers whose inks use petroleum or a petroleum by-product such as acetone as its carrier liquid ldquoEco-solventrdquo inks usually contain glycol esters or glycol ether esters and are slower drying The resulting prints are waterproof Solvent inks may be used to print directly on uncoated vinyl and other media as well as ridged substrates such as Foam Board and PVC

bull Dye sublimation Inks are diffused into the special print media to produce continuous-tone prints of photographic quality

bull UV Piezo inkjet printers whose inks are UV-curable (dry when cured with UV light) The resulting prints are waterproof embossed and vibrant Any media material can be used in this technology polymer made media are best Ceramics glass metals and woods are also used with printing with this technology Important features of these UV-stable polyester films include low transmission of ultraviolet light high mechanical strength and good dimensional stability They also enable good adhesive bond strength to be achieved in coating printing and laminating The UV resistant ldquoHOSTAPHANreg Protective Filmsrdquo from Mitsubishi Polyester Film GmbH are biaxially oriented films made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) These polyester films offer good weathering resistance and very high absorption of UV radiation

ndash Alpha Imaging Wikipedia

Laminate Types The end result of digital printing is not always a flexible product Digital prints can be laminated on substrates to produce ridged panel graphics This type of product is excellent for out door use or interior high traffic wall panel installations Graphics with laminate protection extends the durability of a graphic panel with vandal resisshytant UV stable and waterproof qualities Below are some of the laminate options available in the sign industry

ndash Artcraft

bull Matte laminates Matte laminates provide the most protection against surface glare from lights The frosted surface however can make colors appear less intense and some brands are more susceptible to scratching Gloss laminates make colors appear vivid and bright but have serious glare problems and can scratch easily as well Often the best compromise is a lustre (satin) laminate It allows good color quality and minimizes glare

bull Graffiti-resistant laminates Graffiti-resistant laminates are made of a Teflon-like substance and allow for spray paint and felt pens to be washed right off The toughest come in high-gloss only These products cannot be used in conshyjunction with any plastic substrates There are serious compatibility issues

bull Scratch-resistant laminates Scratch-resistant laminates have textured surshyfaces The greater the texture the tougher the laminate but the more the color and image quality are compromised Polycarbonate laminates are the toughest of these but are too thick for edge-wrapping

bull Hot laminates Hot laminates become rigid when they cool The thicker the film the more rigid it becomes Standard thicknesses are 3 mil 5 mil and 10 mil 10 mil on both sides of a print becomes 20 mil when heated together These laminates have no UV rating donrsquot work well outdoors and donrsquot stick well to many types of digital prints This necessitates leaving an overlap of laminate around the edge of the print to seal it all in (known as encapsulation) Hot lamishynates are also available in matte or gloss

Printing Emerging Technologies Advancements in Cutting Routing and Milling

Graphic Image Digital Laminate

Routing

By far the most advanced technologically Graphic Imaging is a custom print option that captures full color photographic images Graphic Imaging can replicate images created on computer or designs that can be scanned electronically Since graphic image process is a full color reproduction the appearance of the print presents itself in a digital format Image resolution of 300 dpi or higher can produce clear images on a large finished replication One of the key factors to keep in mind about graphic image production is that a vendor can only reproduce the quality of what is given to then For example if the only available artwork is a faxed copy of a copy then our finished laminate will only duplicate that art In some cases Some vendors can recreate artwork images however this is time consuming and expensive to accomplish

Graphic panels do not need to be rectangles any more With the advancement in computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting systems the complexity of the cut shape is no longer a major design concern Most production runs for ridged panel substrates are done on various CNC cutting tables with plasma waterjet or milling and routing capabilities

A CNC Router is a numerical control tool that cuts objects from wood or plastic Parts of a project can be designed in the computer with a CADCAM program and then cut automatically using a router to produce a finished part The CNC router works like a printer Work is composed on a computer and then the design or drawshying is sent to the CNC router for the hard copy This outputs a 3-dimensional copy of the work The CNC router uses a cutting tool following the vector based computer instructions in Cartesian coordinate system (X Y Z) for 3D motion control This gives the computer a printer-like ability to drive a CNC machine to make dimensionshyal letters and other sign parts

Cutting Plasma Cutting is a process that is used to cut steel and other metals of different thicknesses (or sometimes other materials) using a plasma torch In this process an inert gas (in some units compressed air) is blown at high speed out of a nozzle at the same time an electrical arc is formed through that gas from the nozzle to the surface being cut turning some of that gas to plasma The plasma is sufficiently hot to melt the metal being cut and moves sufficiently fast to blow molten metal away from the cut Plasma is an effective means of cutting thin and thick materials alike Hand-held torches can usually cut up to 2 inches (51 mm) thick steel plate and stronger computer-controlled torches can cut steel up to 6 inches (150 mm) thick Since plasma cutters produce a very hot and very localized ldquoconerdquo to cut with they are extremely useful for cutting sheet metal in curved or angled shapes

Freehand Cut of a Thick Steel Plate The HF Contact type uses a high frequency high-voltage spark to ionize the air through the torch head and initiate an arc These require the torch to be in contact with the job material when starting and so are not suitable for applications involving computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting

The Pilot Arc type uses a two-cycle approach to producing plasma avoiding the need for initial contact First a high-voltage low current circuit is used to initialize a very small high-intensity spark within the torch body thereby generating a small pocket of plasma gas This is referred to as the pilot arc The pilot arc has a return electrical path built into the torch head The pilot arc will maintain itself until it is brought into proximity of the work piece where it ignites the main plasma-cutting arc Plasma arcs are extremely hot and are in the range of 25000 degC (45000 degF)

Water Jet Cutting

ldquoThe water jet is unparalleled in many aspects of cutting and has changed the way many products are manufactured Many types of water jets exist today including pure water jets (water only) abrasive water jets percussive water jets cavitation jets and hybrid jets Operation of the cutter is commonly connected to a high-presshysure water pump where the water is then ejected from the nozzle cutting through the material by spraying it with the jet of high-speed water Additives in the form of suspended grit or other abrasives such as garnet and aluminum oxide can assist in this process

An important benefit of the water jet cutter is the ability to cut material without intershyfering with the materialrsquos inherent structure as there is no ldquoheat-affected zonerdquo Water jet cutters are also capable of producing rather intricate cuts in material With speshycialized software and 3-D machining heads complex 3-D shapes can be produced

Advances in control and motion technology 5-axis water jet cutting (abrasive and pure) has become a reality

Water jet is considered a ldquogreenrdquo technology Water jets produce no hazardous waste reducing waste disposal costs They can cut off large pieces of reusable scrap material that might have been lost using traditional cutting methods Parts can be closely nested to maximize material use and the water jet saves material by creating very little kerf Water jets use very little water (a half gallon to approximately one gallon per minute depending on cutting head orifice size) and the water that is used can be recycled using a closed-looped system Wastewater usually is clean enough to filter and dispose of down a drain The garnet abrasive is a non-toxic natural substance that can be recycled for repeated use Garnet usually can be disposed of in a landfill Water jets also eliminate airborne dust particles smoke fumes and contaminants from cutting materials such as asbestos and fiberglass This greatly improves the work environment and reduces problems arising from operator exposurerdquo

Photo Polymer

Advancements in Materials

ldquoA photopolymer is a polymer that changes its properties when exposed to light often in the ultraviolet spectrum These polymers are useful in dentistry for fillings and in rapid prototyping in the stereo lithography and 3D printing processes In the past this material was also used in the creation of ABAADA compliant Architectural Signage However the photo polymer does NOT produce a domed Braille dot And an application of paint to form the dome is required This material also used as a relief plate for flexographic printing can be used in plastics paper labels and sign inserts Some commercial brands worldwide include DuPont Cyrel BASF Nyloflex Novacryl Elaslon McDermid and Soleflex Exaprint

The basic material is soft and light sensitive A selective exposure to UV lamps is then applied then developed and cured the procedure involves exposing image wise a photopolymerizable element to actinic radiation emitting at a wavelength in the range of 365 nm removing the unexposed or unpolymerized areas of the plate with solvent drying the resulting plate The photopolymerized element can then be detackified by exposing the element to UV radiation emitting a wavelength in the range of 254 nm To ensure final plate hardening and photopolymerization the printing element can be further post-exposed to radiation emitting at wavelengths in the range of 365 nm

Introduction Sustainability

Sustainability Executive Order (EO) 13514 ldquoFederal Leadership in Environmental Energy and Economic Performancerdquo was signed by President Obama on 5 October 2009 This EO does not rescindeliminate the requirements of EO 13423 Instead it expands on the energy reduction and environmental performance requirements for Federal agencies identified in EO 13423

The goal of EO 13514 is ldquoto establish an integrated strategy towards sustainability in the Federal Government and to make reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) a priority for Federal agenciesrdquo

Towards meeting that goal Federal agencies are required to meet a series of deadshylines critical to achieving the GHG reduction goals of the EO This EO also sets non-numerical targets that agencies must reach The full text of the required targets and strategies can be found within Executive Order 13514

Green Strategies for Signs

Signs in and of themselves are not an item that can be considered ldquogreenrdquo or a LEEDreg product or product created from materials that are recycled However there are many elements related to signs that can contribute to accomplishing a green strategy for signs

bull Look into working with a sign company that does environmentally responsible production

Ask what programs a company has in place for things like solvent use reducshytion water conservation disposal and recycling of manufacturing waste and by products Do they use low VOC paints do they use T5 or T8 bulbs in building ilshyluminated signs do they build illuminated signs and letters with LED lighting do they install signs on the wall with mechanical fasteners instead of glue

bull Analyze the various elements of the design fabrication installation and product life cycle to eliminate materials and methods that are contrary to the intent of sustainability

Look toward the use of durable materials that fit a signs application or location in order to extend the life of the sign Implement a design that allows for signing to be updated with discarding the entire sign Select materials that will not deteshyriate from weather or environmental conditions

Utilize signs that are constructed from a component based system that allows for message modification and that can incorporate changes without have to reshyplace the entire sign Recycle signs whenever possible

bull A sign program can aid in the qualifications of a building for a LEEDreg rating

A sign program can be developed that educates the public on the benefits of a green building It can highlight and identify elements systems and materials of a building that specifically contribute to the LEEDreg rating

bull Look specifically at materials involved in producing signs

A material such as aluminum is commonly used in signs can be recycled This is a better material selection than say wood even considering that wood is also a product that can be recycled The life cycle of a wood sign is considerably shorter than a sign made of aluminum so it enters the ldquowaste streamrdquo sooner

bull Resistive A resistive touchscreen panel is composed of several layers the most important of which are two thin electrically conductive layers separated by a narrow gap When an object such as a finger presses down on a point on the panelrsquos outer surface the two metallic layers become connected at that point the panel then behaves as a pair of voltage dividers with connected outputs This causes a change in the electrical current which is registered as a touch event and sent to the controller for processing The cover sheet conshysists of a hard outer surface with a coated inner side When the outer layer is touched it causes the conductive layers to touch creating a signal that the analog controller can interpret and determine what the user wants to be done Resistive touch is used in restaurants factories and hospitals due to its high reshysistance to liquids and contaminants A major benefit of resistive touch technolshyogy is it is extremely cost-effective One disadvantage of resistive technology is its vulnerability of being damaged by sharp objects

bull Surface acoustic wave Surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology uses ultrashysonic waves that pass over the touchscreen panel When the panel is touched a portion of the wave is absorbed This change in the ultrasonic waves registers the position of the touch event and sends this information to the controller for processing Surface wave touchscreen panels can be damaged by outside eleshyments Contaminants on the surface can also interfere with the functionality of the touchscreen

bull Capacitive touchscreen of a mobile phone A capacitive touchscreen panel consists of an insulator such as glass coated with a transparent conductor such as indium tin oxide As the human body is also an electrical conductor touching the surface of the screen results in a distortion of the screenrsquos electroshystatic field measurable as a change in capacitance Different technologies may be used to determine the location of the touch The location is then sent to the controller for processing Unlike a resistive touchscreen one cannot use a cashypacitive touchscreen through most types of electrically insulating material such as gloves one requires a special capacitive stylus or a special-application glove with fingertips that generate static electricity This disadvantage espeshycially affects usability in consumer electronics such as touch tablet PCs and capacitive smartphones in cold weather

Touch Screen Applications

An Interactive Kiosk has a touch screen requiring a visitorrsquos interaction The comshybination of voice recognition technology and 3-D animation a kiosk can contain a virtual attendant or an Avatar The Avatar in a kiosk can dispense directional inforshymation in more of an active interaction The Avatar may be programed to ldquoreach out to the visitor and offer assistance prior to a request for information Equipped with speakers receivers and motion sensor the avatar can ldquoreach outrdquo and offer assisshytant and information

Interactive kiosk with a paper print out can provide ldquoold Schoolrdquo maps or directions for visitors As well as maps an interactive kiosk can print marketing material and event schedules Self-service kiosk solution combines cutting edge LCD technology progressive design and proprietary software With virtual Concierge software an unlimited amount of brochures can be displayed on your kiosk as well as a solution for multilingual issues

Illumination

LED

Light Emitting Diode

Emerging Technologies Lighting

The signage industry has been effected by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) and the energy reduction goals for federal agencies put forth in Executive Order 13423 to be adopted in 2012 These new federal standards introduces more aggressive requirements for three key provisions the Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards the Renewable Fuel Standard and the applishyancelighting efficiency standards To comply with these regulations the lighting industry has made advances and changes to illumination products in order to meet lighting efficiency standards Signage fabricators have adopted new illumination products offered by the lighting industry by shifting from the use of incandescent and fluorescent illumination to the more efficient halogen or LED illumination to meet economic ecological and regulatory goals

LEDs present many advantages over incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption longer lifetime improved robustness smaller size faster switching and greater durability and reliability LEDs powerful enough for room lighting are relatively expensive and require more precise current and heat manageshyment than compact fluorescent lamp sources of comparable output

LED flood lights powered by solar and battery back up are a good solutions for exshyterior signage and DOT road sign illumination LED solar with battery backup and power control systems technologies continues to make improvements in brightness longevity reliability and durability As these technologies advance more products will become available for commercial exterior illuminated signage applications The solar power systems with battery backup will extend illumination capabilities beshyyond 6 to 8 hour run times even on cloudy days LED illumination with solar power require no line voltage digging trenching and can be located in remote locations with limited scheduled maintenance for up to five years The ultra light bright and efficient LED fixtures continue to yield economic and safety benefits to illuminated exterior signage

Solar Illumination Current and emergent photovoltaic technologies make solar powered sign illuminashytion possible and practical

Photovoltaic Solar power supply in conjunction with LED illumination and electronic controls systems which integrated multi power sources can lend to a reliable and predictable power supply for illuminated signage Advancements are continually being made in both photovoltaic technology and sophisticated power management systems Battery backup of solar power source can be effective solution for remote stand-alone signage needs

While utilizing solar for powering illuminated signage can currently be accomshyplished there are certain challenges to be addressed for real time practical applicashytion particularly in the form of batteries As energy collection with solar panels imshyproves and new power management systems are developed along with LEDrsquos with higher light output and low electrical consumption batteries are and will remain the cornerstone of the system that needs development to allow installations to beshycome truly viable Look for many changes in this area in the upcoming years

Printing

Wide Format Printers

Emerging Technologies Digital Printing

In the past signage was painted or silk-screened graphics Advancements in digital printing continue to be make an impact on how signage is produced and designed Digital prints of maps for directories can be more colorful and pictorial The low cost of digital prints makes updates and changeable graphics possible Temporary signs and banners are cost effective weatherproof and can be produced quickly

The combination of technological advances in the materials or substrates to print on the inks and dyes to print with the digital printers and cutting equipment with-which to produce graphic continues to make marked improvement and increased signage capabilities The substrates in which stable images can be printed on has expanded Premium cast vinyl film designed for long-term outdoor signage is a flexible material for vehicle wraps Perforated material having a see through quality for windowbus wraps allow graphic to be placed on busses buildings windows elevator doors and almost any surface The difference of this enhanced resolution by high quality printers is unmistakable High-definition output is both brilliant and eye-catching Die sublimation is a printing process that allows for ink to penetrate various fabrics from very sheer see-through silks to UV stable inks on heavy awshyning canvas The Die-sub process has again expanded how and where a designer is able to place graphics

Large format printers printers with increasing resolution DPI (dots per inch) and printer speed impact graphic solutions and cost of on site graphics Large format printers can print on rolled paper or fabric of increasing widths Where once billshyboards where painted by hand now digital graphics can wrap an entire buildings Fabrication and computer controlled cutting technology allows for high production fabrication runs of fairly complex shapes All these production technologies are continually changing and advancing allowing for design solutions for signage to be cost effective and more creative

ldquoWide Format printers (contrast to vector-rendering plotters) are generally accepted to be any printer with a print width between 17 and 100 Printers over the 100rdquo mark may be called Super-Wide or Grand format Wide format printers are used to print banners posters and general signage and in some cases may be more ecoshynomical than short-run methods such as screen-printing Wide format printers genshyerally use a roll of print material rather than individual sheets and may incorporate hot-air dryers to prevent prints from sticking to themselves as they are producedrdquo

Digital Printing Categories

Digital printing is categorized according to ink used

bull Aqueous Thermal or Piezo inkjet printers using ink known as aqueous or water-based The term ldquowater baserdquo is a generally accepted misnomer The pigment is held in a non-reactive carrier solution that is sometimes water and other times a substitute liquid including a soy based liquid used by Kodak Aqueous ink generally comes in two flavors Dye and UV (alternatively known as pigment) Dye ink is high color low UV-resistant variety that offers the widest color gamut UV ink is generally duller in color but withstands fading from UV rays Similar in general principal to desktop inkjet printers Finished prints usshying dye inks must be laminated to protect them if they are to be used outdoors while prints using UV inks can be used outdoors un-laminated for a limited time Various materials are available including canvases banners metabolized plasshytic and cloth Aqueous technology requires that all materials be properly coated to accept and hold the ink

Printing Emerging Technologies Digital Printing and Laminates

bull Solvent ink This term is used to describe any ink that is not water-based Piezo inkjet printers whose inks use petroleum or a petroleum by-product such as acetone as its carrier liquid ldquoEco-solventrdquo inks usually contain glycol esters or glycol ether esters and are slower drying The resulting prints are waterproof Solvent inks may be used to print directly on uncoated vinyl and other media as well as ridged substrates such as Foam Board and PVC

bull Dye sublimation Inks are diffused into the special print media to produce continuous-tone prints of photographic quality

bull UV Piezo inkjet printers whose inks are UV-curable (dry when cured with UV light) The resulting prints are waterproof embossed and vibrant Any media material can be used in this technology polymer made media are best Ceramics glass metals and woods are also used with printing with this technology Important features of these UV-stable polyester films include low transmission of ultraviolet light high mechanical strength and good dimensional stability They also enable good adhesive bond strength to be achieved in coating printing and laminating The UV resistant ldquoHOSTAPHANreg Protective Filmsrdquo from Mitsubishi Polyester Film GmbH are biaxially oriented films made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) These polyester films offer good weathering resistance and very high absorption of UV radiation

Laminate Types The end result of digital printing is not always a flexible product Digital prints can be laminated on substrates to produce ridged panel graphics This type of product is excellent for out door use or interior high traffic wall panel installations Graphics with laminate protection extends the durability of a graphic panel with vandal resisshytant UV stable and waterproof qualities Below are some of the laminate options available in the sign industry

ndash Artcraft

bull Matte laminates Matte laminates provide the most protection against surface glare from lights The frosted surface however can make colors appear less intense and some brands are more susceptible to scratching Gloss laminates make colors appear vivid and bright but have serious glare problems and can scratch easily as well Often the best compromise is a lustre (satin) laminate It allows good color quality and minimizes glare

bull Graffiti-resistant laminates Graffiti-resistant laminates are made of a Teflon-like substance and allow for spray paint and felt pens to be washed right off The toughest come in high-gloss only These products cannot be used in conshyjunction with any plastic substrates There are serious compatibility issues

bull Scratch-resistant laminates Scratch-resistant laminates have textured surshyfaces The greater the texture the tougher the laminate but the more the color and image quality are compromised Polycarbonate laminates are the toughest of these but are too thick for edge-wrapping

bull Hot laminates Hot laminates become rigid when they cool The thicker the film the more rigid it becomes Standard thicknesses are 3 mil 5 mil and 10 mil 10 mil on both sides of a print becomes 20 mil when heated together These laminates have no UV rating donrsquot work well outdoors and donrsquot stick well to many types of digital prints This necessitates leaving an overlap of laminate around the edge of the print to seal it all in (known as encapsulation) Hot lamishynates are also available in matte or gloss

Printing Emerging Technologies Advancements in Cutting Routing and Milling

Graphic Image Digital Laminate

Routing

By far the most advanced technologically Graphic Imaging is a custom print option that captures full color photographic images Graphic Imaging can replicate images created on computer or designs that can be scanned electronically Since graphic image process is a full color reproduction the appearance of the print presents itself in a digital format Image resolution of 300 dpi or higher can produce clear images on a large finished replication One of the key factors to keep in mind about graphic image production is that a vendor can only reproduce the quality of what is given to then For example if the only available artwork is a faxed copy of a copy then our finished laminate will only duplicate that art In some cases Some vendors can recreate artwork images however this is time consuming and expensive to accomplish

Graphic panels do not need to be rectangles any more With the advancement in computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting systems the complexity of the cut shape is no longer a major design concern Most production runs for ridged panel substrates are done on various CNC cutting tables with plasma waterjet or milling and routing capabilities

A CNC Router is a numerical control tool that cuts objects from wood or plastic Parts of a project can be designed in the computer with a CADCAM program and then cut automatically using a router to produce a finished part The CNC router works like a printer Work is composed on a computer and then the design or drawshying is sent to the CNC router for the hard copy This outputs a 3-dimensional copy of the work The CNC router uses a cutting tool following the vector based computer instructions in Cartesian coordinate system (X Y Z) for 3D motion control This gives the computer a printer-like ability to drive a CNC machine to make dimensionshyal letters and other sign parts

Cutting Plasma Cutting is a process that is used to cut steel and other metals of different thicknesses (or sometimes other materials) using a plasma torch In this process an inert gas (in some units compressed air) is blown at high speed out of a nozzle at the same time an electrical arc is formed through that gas from the nozzle to the surface being cut turning some of that gas to plasma The plasma is sufficiently hot to melt the metal being cut and moves sufficiently fast to blow molten metal away from the cut Plasma is an effective means of cutting thin and thick materials alike Hand-held torches can usually cut up to 2 inches (51 mm) thick steel plate and stronger computer-controlled torches can cut steel up to 6 inches (150 mm) thick Since plasma cutters produce a very hot and very localized ldquoconerdquo to cut with they are extremely useful for cutting sheet metal in curved or angled shapes

Freehand Cut of a Thick Steel Plate The HF Contact type uses a high frequency high-voltage spark to ionize the air through the torch head and initiate an arc These require the torch to be in contact with the job material when starting and so are not suitable for applications involving computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting

The Pilot Arc type uses a two-cycle approach to producing plasma avoiding the need for initial contact First a high-voltage low current circuit is used to initialize a very small high-intensity spark within the torch body thereby generating a small pocket of plasma gas This is referred to as the pilot arc The pilot arc has a return electrical path built into the torch head The pilot arc will maintain itself until it is brought into proximity of the work piece where it ignites the main plasma-cutting arc Plasma arcs are extremely hot and are in the range of 25000 degC (45000 degF)

Water Jet Cutting

ldquoThe water jet is unparalleled in many aspects of cutting and has changed the way many products are manufactured Many types of water jets exist today including pure water jets (water only) abrasive water jets percussive water jets cavitation jets and hybrid jets Operation of the cutter is commonly connected to a high-presshysure water pump where the water is then ejected from the nozzle cutting through the material by spraying it with the jet of high-speed water Additives in the form of suspended grit or other abrasives such as garnet and aluminum oxide can assist in this process

An important benefit of the water jet cutter is the ability to cut material without intershyfering with the materialrsquos inherent structure as there is no ldquoheat-affected zonerdquo Water jet cutters are also capable of producing rather intricate cuts in material With speshycialized software and 3-D machining heads complex 3-D shapes can be produced

Advances in control and motion technology 5-axis water jet cutting (abrasive and pure) has become a reality

Water jet is considered a ldquogreenrdquo technology Water jets produce no hazardous waste reducing waste disposal costs They can cut off large pieces of reusable scrap material that might have been lost using traditional cutting methods Parts can be closely nested to maximize material use and the water jet saves material by creating very little kerf Water jets use very little water (a half gallon to approximately one gallon per minute depending on cutting head orifice size) and the water that is used can be recycled using a closed-looped system Wastewater usually is clean enough to filter and dispose of down a drain The garnet abrasive is a non-toxic natural substance that can be recycled for repeated use Garnet usually can be disposed of in a landfill Water jets also eliminate airborne dust particles smoke fumes and contaminants from cutting materials such as asbestos and fiberglass This greatly improves the work environment and reduces problems arising from operator exposurerdquo

Photo Polymer

Advancements in Materials

ldquoA photopolymer is a polymer that changes its properties when exposed to light often in the ultraviolet spectrum These polymers are useful in dentistry for fillings and in rapid prototyping in the stereo lithography and 3D printing processes In the past this material was also used in the creation of ABAADA compliant Architectural Signage However the photo polymer does NOT produce a domed Braille dot And an application of paint to form the dome is required This material also used as a relief plate for flexographic printing can be used in plastics paper labels and sign inserts Some commercial brands worldwide include DuPont Cyrel BASF Nyloflex Novacryl Elaslon McDermid and Soleflex Exaprint

The basic material is soft and light sensitive A selective exposure to UV lamps is then applied then developed and cured the procedure involves exposing image wise a photopolymerizable element to actinic radiation emitting at a wavelength in the range of 365 nm removing the unexposed or unpolymerized areas of the plate with solvent drying the resulting plate The photopolymerized element can then be detackified by exposing the element to UV radiation emitting a wavelength in the range of 254 nm To ensure final plate hardening and photopolymerization the printing element can be further post-exposed to radiation emitting at wavelengths in the range of 365 nm

Introduction Sustainability

Sustainability Executive Order (EO) 13514 ldquoFederal Leadership in Environmental Energy and Economic Performancerdquo was signed by President Obama on 5 October 2009 This EO does not rescindeliminate the requirements of EO 13423 Instead it expands on the energy reduction and environmental performance requirements for Federal agencies identified in EO 13423

The goal of EO 13514 is ldquoto establish an integrated strategy towards sustainability in the Federal Government and to make reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) a priority for Federal agenciesrdquo

Towards meeting that goal Federal agencies are required to meet a series of deadshylines critical to achieving the GHG reduction goals of the EO This EO also sets non-numerical targets that agencies must reach The full text of the required targets and strategies can be found within Executive Order 13514

Green Strategies for Signs

Signs in and of themselves are not an item that can be considered ldquogreenrdquo or a LEEDreg product or product created from materials that are recycled However there are many elements related to signs that can contribute to accomplishing a green strategy for signs

bull Look into working with a sign company that does environmentally responsible production

Ask what programs a company has in place for things like solvent use reducshytion water conservation disposal and recycling of manufacturing waste and by products Do they use low VOC paints do they use T5 or T8 bulbs in building ilshyluminated signs do they build illuminated signs and letters with LED lighting do they install signs on the wall with mechanical fasteners instead of glue

bull Analyze the various elements of the design fabrication installation and product life cycle to eliminate materials and methods that are contrary to the intent of sustainability

Look toward the use of durable materials that fit a signs application or location in order to extend the life of the sign Implement a design that allows for signing to be updated with discarding the entire sign Select materials that will not deteshyriate from weather or environmental conditions

Utilize signs that are constructed from a component based system that allows for message modification and that can incorporate changes without have to reshyplace the entire sign Recycle signs whenever possible

bull A sign program can aid in the qualifications of a building for a LEEDreg rating

A sign program can be developed that educates the public on the benefits of a green building It can highlight and identify elements systems and materials of a building that specifically contribute to the LEEDreg rating

bull Look specifically at materials involved in producing signs

A material such as aluminum is commonly used in signs can be recycled This is a better material selection than say wood even considering that wood is also a product that can be recycled The life cycle of a wood sign is considerably shorter than a sign made of aluminum so it enters the ldquowaste streamrdquo sooner

Touch Screen Displays

(continued)

bull Resistive A resistive touchscreen panel is composed of several layers the most important of which are two thin electrically conductive layers separated by a narrow gap When an object such as a finger presses down on a point on the panelrsquos outer surface the two metallic layers become connected at that point the panel then behaves as a pair of voltage dividers with connected outputs This causes a change in the electrical current which is registered as a touch event and sent to the controller for processing The cover sheet conshysists of a hard outer surface with a coated inner side When the outer layer is touched it causes the conductive layers to touch creating a signal that the analog controller can interpret and determine what the user wants to be done Resistive touch is used in restaurants factories and hospitals due to its high reshysistance to liquids and contaminants A major benefit of resistive touch technolshyogy is it is extremely cost-effective One disadvantage of resistive technology is its vulnerability of being damaged by sharp objects

bull Surface acoustic wave Surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology uses ultrashysonic waves that pass over the touchscreen panel When the panel is touched a portion of the wave is absorbed This change in the ultrasonic waves registers the position of the touch event and sends this information to the controller for processing Surface wave touchscreen panels can be damaged by outside eleshyments Contaminants on the surface can also interfere with the functionality of the touchscreen

bull Capacitive touchscreen of a mobile phone A capacitive touchscreen panel consists of an insulator such as glass coated with a transparent conductor such as indium tin oxide As the human body is also an electrical conductor touching the surface of the screen results in a distortion of the screenrsquos electroshystatic field measurable as a change in capacitance Different technologies may be used to determine the location of the touch The location is then sent to the controller for processing Unlike a resistive touchscreen one cannot use a cashypacitive touchscreen through most types of electrically insulating material such as gloves one requires a special capacitive stylus or a special-application glove with fingertips that generate static electricity This disadvantage espeshycially affects usability in consumer electronics such as touch tablet PCs and capacitive smartphones in cold weather

Touch Screen Applications

An Interactive Kiosk has a touch screen requiring a visitorrsquos interaction The comshybination of voice recognition technology and 3-D animation a kiosk can contain a virtual attendant or an Avatar The Avatar in a kiosk can dispense directional inforshymation in more of an active interaction The Avatar may be programed to ldquoreach out to the visitor and offer assistance prior to a request for information Equipped with speakers receivers and motion sensor the avatar can ldquoreach outrdquo and offer assisshytant and information

Interactive kiosk with a paper print out can provide ldquoold Schoolrdquo maps or directions for visitors As well as maps an interactive kiosk can print marketing material and event schedules Self-service kiosk solution combines cutting edge LCD technology progressive design and proprietary software With virtual Concierge software an unlimited amount of brochures can be displayed on your kiosk as well as a solution for multilingual issues

Illumination

LED

Light Emitting Diode

Emerging Technologies Lighting

The signage industry has been effected by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) and the energy reduction goals for federal agencies put forth in Executive Order 13423 to be adopted in 2012 These new federal standards introduces more aggressive requirements for three key provisions the Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards the Renewable Fuel Standard and the applishyancelighting efficiency standards To comply with these regulations the lighting industry has made advances and changes to illumination products in order to meet lighting efficiency standards Signage fabricators have adopted new illumination products offered by the lighting industry by shifting from the use of incandescent and fluorescent illumination to the more efficient halogen or LED illumination to meet economic ecological and regulatory goals

LEDs present many advantages over incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption longer lifetime improved robustness smaller size faster switching and greater durability and reliability LEDs powerful enough for room lighting are relatively expensive and require more precise current and heat manageshyment than compact fluorescent lamp sources of comparable output

LED flood lights powered by solar and battery back up are a good solutions for exshyterior signage and DOT road sign illumination LED solar with battery backup and power control systems technologies continues to make improvements in brightness longevity reliability and durability As these technologies advance more products will become available for commercial exterior illuminated signage applications The solar power systems with battery backup will extend illumination capabilities beshyyond 6 to 8 hour run times even on cloudy days LED illumination with solar power require no line voltage digging trenching and can be located in remote locations with limited scheduled maintenance for up to five years The ultra light bright and efficient LED fixtures continue to yield economic and safety benefits to illuminated exterior signage

Solar Illumination Current and emergent photovoltaic technologies make solar powered sign illuminashytion possible and practical

Photovoltaic Solar power supply in conjunction with LED illumination and electronic controls systems which integrated multi power sources can lend to a reliable and predictable power supply for illuminated signage Advancements are continually being made in both photovoltaic technology and sophisticated power management systems Battery backup of solar power source can be effective solution for remote stand-alone signage needs

While utilizing solar for powering illuminated signage can currently be accomshyplished there are certain challenges to be addressed for real time practical applicashytion particularly in the form of batteries As energy collection with solar panels imshyproves and new power management systems are developed along with LEDrsquos with higher light output and low electrical consumption batteries are and will remain the cornerstone of the system that needs development to allow installations to beshycome truly viable Look for many changes in this area in the upcoming years

Printing

Wide Format Printers

Emerging Technologies Digital Printing

In the past signage was painted or silk-screened graphics Advancements in digital printing continue to be make an impact on how signage is produced and designed Digital prints of maps for directories can be more colorful and pictorial The low cost of digital prints makes updates and changeable graphics possible Temporary signs and banners are cost effective weatherproof and can be produced quickly

The combination of technological advances in the materials or substrates to print on the inks and dyes to print with the digital printers and cutting equipment with-which to produce graphic continues to make marked improvement and increased signage capabilities The substrates in which stable images can be printed on has expanded Premium cast vinyl film designed for long-term outdoor signage is a flexible material for vehicle wraps Perforated material having a see through quality for windowbus wraps allow graphic to be placed on busses buildings windows elevator doors and almost any surface The difference of this enhanced resolution by high quality printers is unmistakable High-definition output is both brilliant and eye-catching Die sublimation is a printing process that allows for ink to penetrate various fabrics from very sheer see-through silks to UV stable inks on heavy awshyning canvas The Die-sub process has again expanded how and where a designer is able to place graphics

Large format printers printers with increasing resolution DPI (dots per inch) and printer speed impact graphic solutions and cost of on site graphics Large format printers can print on rolled paper or fabric of increasing widths Where once billshyboards where painted by hand now digital graphics can wrap an entire buildings Fabrication and computer controlled cutting technology allows for high production fabrication runs of fairly complex shapes All these production technologies are continually changing and advancing allowing for design solutions for signage to be cost effective and more creative

ldquoWide Format printers (contrast to vector-rendering plotters) are generally accepted to be any printer with a print width between 17 and 100 Printers over the 100rdquo mark may be called Super-Wide or Grand format Wide format printers are used to print banners posters and general signage and in some cases may be more ecoshynomical than short-run methods such as screen-printing Wide format printers genshyerally use a roll of print material rather than individual sheets and may incorporate hot-air dryers to prevent prints from sticking to themselves as they are producedrdquo

Digital Printing Categories

Digital printing is categorized according to ink used

bull Aqueous Thermal or Piezo inkjet printers using ink known as aqueous or water-based The term ldquowater baserdquo is a generally accepted misnomer The pigment is held in a non-reactive carrier solution that is sometimes water and other times a substitute liquid including a soy based liquid used by Kodak Aqueous ink generally comes in two flavors Dye and UV (alternatively known as pigment) Dye ink is high color low UV-resistant variety that offers the widest color gamut UV ink is generally duller in color but withstands fading from UV rays Similar in general principal to desktop inkjet printers Finished prints usshying dye inks must be laminated to protect them if they are to be used outdoors while prints using UV inks can be used outdoors un-laminated for a limited time Various materials are available including canvases banners metabolized plasshytic and cloth Aqueous technology requires that all materials be properly coated to accept and hold the ink

Printing Emerging Technologies Digital Printing and Laminates

bull Solvent ink This term is used to describe any ink that is not water-based Piezo inkjet printers whose inks use petroleum or a petroleum by-product such as acetone as its carrier liquid ldquoEco-solventrdquo inks usually contain glycol esters or glycol ether esters and are slower drying The resulting prints are waterproof Solvent inks may be used to print directly on uncoated vinyl and other media as well as ridged substrates such as Foam Board and PVC

bull Dye sublimation Inks are diffused into the special print media to produce continuous-tone prints of photographic quality

bull UV Piezo inkjet printers whose inks are UV-curable (dry when cured with UV light) The resulting prints are waterproof embossed and vibrant Any media material can be used in this technology polymer made media are best Ceramics glass metals and woods are also used with printing with this technology Important features of these UV-stable polyester films include low transmission of ultraviolet light high mechanical strength and good dimensional stability They also enable good adhesive bond strength to be achieved in coating printing and laminating The UV resistant ldquoHOSTAPHANreg Protective Filmsrdquo from Mitsubishi Polyester Film GmbH are biaxially oriented films made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) These polyester films offer good weathering resistance and very high absorption of UV radiation

ndash Alpha Imaging Wikipedia

Laminate Types The end result of digital printing is not always a flexible product Digital prints can be laminated on substrates to produce ridged panel graphics This type of product is excellent for out door use or interior high traffic wall panel installations Graphics with laminate protection extends the durability of a graphic panel with vandal resisshytant UV stable and waterproof qualities Below are some of the laminate options available in the sign industry

ndash Artcraft

bull Matte laminates Matte laminates provide the most protection against surface glare from lights The frosted surface however can make colors appear less intense and some brands are more susceptible to scratching Gloss laminates make colors appear vivid and bright but have serious glare problems and can scratch easily as well Often the best compromise is a lustre (satin) laminate It allows good color quality and minimizes glare

bull Graffiti-resistant laminates Graffiti-resistant laminates are made of a Teflon-like substance and allow for spray paint and felt pens to be washed right off The toughest come in high-gloss only These products cannot be used in conshyjunction with any plastic substrates There are serious compatibility issues

bull Scratch-resistant laminates Scratch-resistant laminates have textured surshyfaces The greater the texture the tougher the laminate but the more the color and image quality are compromised Polycarbonate laminates are the toughest of these but are too thick for edge-wrapping

bull Hot laminates Hot laminates become rigid when they cool The thicker the film the more rigid it becomes Standard thicknesses are 3 mil 5 mil and 10 mil 10 mil on both sides of a print becomes 20 mil when heated together These laminates have no UV rating donrsquot work well outdoors and donrsquot stick well to many types of digital prints This necessitates leaving an overlap of laminate around the edge of the print to seal it all in (known as encapsulation) Hot lamishynates are also available in matte or gloss

Printing Emerging Technologies Advancements in Cutting Routing and Milling

Graphic Image Digital Laminate

Routing

By far the most advanced technologically Graphic Imaging is a custom print option that captures full color photographic images Graphic Imaging can replicate images created on computer or designs that can be scanned electronically Since graphic image process is a full color reproduction the appearance of the print presents itself in a digital format Image resolution of 300 dpi or higher can produce clear images on a large finished replication One of the key factors to keep in mind about graphic image production is that a vendor can only reproduce the quality of what is given to then For example if the only available artwork is a faxed copy of a copy then our finished laminate will only duplicate that art In some cases Some vendors can recreate artwork images however this is time consuming and expensive to accomplish

Graphic panels do not need to be rectangles any more With the advancement in computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting systems the complexity of the cut shape is no longer a major design concern Most production runs for ridged panel substrates are done on various CNC cutting tables with plasma waterjet or milling and routing capabilities

A CNC Router is a numerical control tool that cuts objects from wood or plastic Parts of a project can be designed in the computer with a CADCAM program and then cut automatically using a router to produce a finished part The CNC router works like a printer Work is composed on a computer and then the design or drawshying is sent to the CNC router for the hard copy This outputs a 3-dimensional copy of the work The CNC router uses a cutting tool following the vector based computer instructions in Cartesian coordinate system (X Y Z) for 3D motion control This gives the computer a printer-like ability to drive a CNC machine to make dimensionshyal letters and other sign parts

Cutting Plasma Cutting is a process that is used to cut steel and other metals of different thicknesses (or sometimes other materials) using a plasma torch In this process an inert gas (in some units compressed air) is blown at high speed out of a nozzle at the same time an electrical arc is formed through that gas from the nozzle to the surface being cut turning some of that gas to plasma The plasma is sufficiently hot to melt the metal being cut and moves sufficiently fast to blow molten metal away from the cut Plasma is an effective means of cutting thin and thick materials alike Hand-held torches can usually cut up to 2 inches (51 mm) thick steel plate and stronger computer-controlled torches can cut steel up to 6 inches (150 mm) thick Since plasma cutters produce a very hot and very localized ldquoconerdquo to cut with they are extremely useful for cutting sheet metal in curved or angled shapes

Freehand Cut of a Thick Steel Plate The HF Contact type uses a high frequency high-voltage spark to ionize the air through the torch head and initiate an arc These require the torch to be in contact with the job material when starting and so are not suitable for applications involving computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting

The Pilot Arc type uses a two-cycle approach to producing plasma avoiding the need for initial contact First a high-voltage low current circuit is used to initialize a very small high-intensity spark within the torch body thereby generating a small pocket of plasma gas This is referred to as the pilot arc The pilot arc has a return electrical path built into the torch head The pilot arc will maintain itself until it is brought into proximity of the work piece where it ignites the main plasma-cutting arc Plasma arcs are extremely hot and are in the range of 25000 degC (45000 degF)

Fabrication Emerging Technologies Advancements in Cutting Routing and Milling

Water Jet Cutting

ldquoThe water jet is unparalleled in many aspects of cutting and has changed the way many products are manufactured Many types of water jets exist today including pure water jets (water only) abrasive water jets percussive water jets cavitation jets and hybrid jets Operation of the cutter is commonly connected to a high-presshysure water pump where the water is then ejected from the nozzle cutting through the material by spraying it with the jet of high-speed water Additives in the form of suspended grit or other abrasives such as garnet and aluminum oxide can assist in this process

An important benefit of the water jet cutter is the ability to cut material without intershyfering with the materialrsquos inherent structure as there is no ldquoheat-affected zonerdquo Water jet cutters are also capable of producing rather intricate cuts in material With speshycialized software and 3-D machining heads complex 3-D shapes can be produced

Advances in control and motion technology 5-axis water jet cutting (abrasive and pure) has become a reality

Water jet is considered a ldquogreenrdquo technology Water jets produce no hazardous waste reducing waste disposal costs They can cut off large pieces of reusable scrap material that might have been lost using traditional cutting methods Parts can be closely nested to maximize material use and the water jet saves material by creating very little kerf Water jets use very little water (a half gallon to approximately one gallon per minute depending on cutting head orifice size) and the water that is used can be recycled using a closed-looped system Wastewater usually is clean enough to filter and dispose of down a drain The garnet abrasive is a non-toxic natural substance that can be recycled for repeated use Garnet usually can be disposed of in a landfill Water jets also eliminate airborne dust particles smoke fumes and contaminants from cutting materials such as asbestos and fiberglass This greatly improves the work environment and reduces problems arising from operator exposurerdquo

Photo Polymer

Advancements in Materials

ldquoA photopolymer is a polymer that changes its properties when exposed to light often in the ultraviolet spectrum These polymers are useful in dentistry for fillings and in rapid prototyping in the stereo lithography and 3D printing processes In the past this material was also used in the creation of ABAADA compliant Architectural Signage However the photo polymer does NOT produce a domed Braille dot And an application of paint to form the dome is required This material also used as a relief plate for flexographic printing can be used in plastics paper labels and sign inserts Some commercial brands worldwide include DuPont Cyrel BASF Nyloflex Novacryl Elaslon McDermid and Soleflex Exaprint

The basic material is soft and light sensitive A selective exposure to UV lamps is then applied then developed and cured the procedure involves exposing image wise a photopolymerizable element to actinic radiation emitting at a wavelength in the range of 365 nm removing the unexposed or unpolymerized areas of the plate with solvent drying the resulting plate The photopolymerized element can then be detackified by exposing the element to UV radiation emitting a wavelength in the range of 254 nm To ensure final plate hardening and photopolymerization the printing element can be further post-exposed to radiation emitting at wavelengths in the range of 365 nm

Fabrication Emerging Technologies Advancements in Cutting Routing and Milling

Current platemaking processes utilize various sources of radiation for developing relief images and maximizing plate hardening For example actinic radiation from a variety of sources can be used including commercial ultraviolet fluorescent tubes medium high and low pressure mercury vapor lamps argon glow lamps photographic flood lamps pulsed xenon lamps carbon arc lamps etc Called photopolymeric flexographic relief printing plates in the flexographic printing plate industry because maximum consistent print quality will be obtained using plates with reduced shrinkagerdquo

Introduction Sustainability

Sustainability Executive Order (EO) 13514 ldquoFederal Leadership in Environmental Energy and Economic Performancerdquo was signed by President Obama on 5 October 2009 This EO does not rescindeliminate the requirements of EO 13423 Instead it expands on the energy reduction and environmental performance requirements for Federal agencies identified in EO 13423

The goal of EO 13514 is ldquoto establish an integrated strategy towards sustainability in the Federal Government and to make reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) a priority for Federal agenciesrdquo

Towards meeting that goal Federal agencies are required to meet a series of deadshylines critical to achieving the GHG reduction goals of the EO This EO also sets non-numerical targets that agencies must reach The full text of the required targets and strategies can be found within Executive Order 13514

Green Strategies for Signs

Signs in and of themselves are not an item that can be considered ldquogreenrdquo or a LEEDreg product or product created from materials that are recycled However there are many elements related to signs that can contribute to accomplishing a green strategy for signs

bull Look into working with a sign company that does environmentally responsible production

Ask what programs a company has in place for things like solvent use reducshytion water conservation disposal and recycling of manufacturing waste and by products Do they use low VOC paints do they use T5 or T8 bulbs in building ilshyluminated signs do they build illuminated signs and letters with LED lighting do they install signs on the wall with mechanical fasteners instead of glue

bull Analyze the various elements of the design fabrication installation and product life cycle to eliminate materials and methods that are contrary to the intent of sustainability

Look toward the use of durable materials that fit a signs application or location in order to extend the life of the sign Implement a design that allows for signing to be updated with discarding the entire sign Select materials that will not deteshyriate from weather or environmental conditions

Utilize signs that are constructed from a component based system that allows for message modification and that can incorporate changes without have to reshyplace the entire sign Recycle signs whenever possible

bull A sign program can aid in the qualifications of a building for a LEEDreg rating

A sign program can be developed that educates the public on the benefits of a green building It can highlight and identify elements systems and materials of a building that specifically contribute to the LEEDreg rating

bull Look specifically at materials involved in producing signs

A material such as aluminum is commonly used in signs can be recycled This is a better material selection than say wood even considering that wood is also a product that can be recycled The life cycle of a wood sign is considerably shorter than a sign made of aluminum so it enters the ldquowaste streamrdquo sooner

Introduction Sign Index

Sign Numbering System

Example Sign

Each sign in this guide is given a specific index number that can be used to easily identify each individual sign Signs are named based on the sign type the family of sign they belong to and then given a specific number Signs are grouped based on their purpose configuration layout and installation specifications Certain sign families may have only one sign whereas others may have several signs assigned to them

Certain signs that have been used in the past may have been moved renamed or have been removed from the guide altogether when determining which signs are needed consult the guide to obtain the appropriate number for each necessary sign If planning on updating any or all signs refer to Section 2- ldquoNeed a Signrdquo Program of the Guide for more information

Signs are named in the following manner

IN - 1701 A XX Designates the type of sign

IN= Interior Signs

SP= Specialty Signs

EI= Exterior Illuminated Signs

EN= Exterior Non-Illuminated Signs

PS= Parking Structure Signs

PL= Parking Lot Signs

NC= Cemetery Signs

17 Two digit number identify a particular directory family

01 The two digit number following the period identifies a specific sign within the directory family

A The letter designates a specific sign configuration version andor layout for graphics

The following sign is an example of how this numbering system is used

IN-0403 Primary Room Identification with Insert

Blood Draw

2528625286 25286

IN- Designates that this sign is an Interior Sign

04- Designates that this sign is a Primary Room Identification sign

03- Identifies this specific sign in the Room Identification sign family (Sign with Insert)

Illumination

LED

Light Emitting Diode

Emerging Technologies Lighting

The signage industry has been effected by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) and the energy reduction goals for federal agencies put forth in Executive Order 13423 to be adopted in 2012 These new federal standards introduces more aggressive requirements for three key provisions the Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards the Renewable Fuel Standard and the applishyancelighting efficiency standards To comply with these regulations the lighting industry has made advances and changes to illumination products in order to meet lighting efficiency standards Signage fabricators have adopted new illumination products offered by the lighting industry by shifting from the use of incandescent and fluorescent illumination to the more efficient halogen or LED illumination to meet economic ecological and regulatory goals

LEDs present many advantages over incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption longer lifetime improved robustness smaller size faster switching and greater durability and reliability LEDs powerful enough for room lighting are relatively expensive and require more precise current and heat manageshyment than compact fluorescent lamp sources of comparable output

LED flood lights powered by solar and battery back up are a good solutions for exshyterior signage and DOT road sign illumination LED solar with battery backup and power control systems technologies continues to make improvements in brightness longevity reliability and durability As these technologies advance more products will become available for commercial exterior illuminated signage applications The solar power systems with battery backup will extend illumination capabilities beshyyond 6 to 8 hour run times even on cloudy days LED illumination with solar power require no line voltage digging trenching and can be located in remote locations with limited scheduled maintenance for up to five years The ultra light bright and efficient LED fixtures continue to yield economic and safety benefits to illuminated exterior signage

Solar Illumination Current and emergent photovoltaic technologies make solar powered sign illuminashytion possible and practical

Photovoltaic Solar power supply in conjunction with LED illumination and electronic controls systems which integrated multi power sources can lend to a reliable and predictable power supply for illuminated signage Advancements are continually being made in both photovoltaic technology and sophisticated power management systems Battery backup of solar power source can be effective solution for remote stand-alone signage needs

While utilizing solar for powering illuminated signage can currently be accomshyplished there are certain challenges to be addressed for real time practical applicashytion particularly in the form of batteries As energy collection with solar panels imshyproves and new power management systems are developed along with LEDrsquos with higher light output and low electrical consumption batteries are and will remain the cornerstone of the system that needs development to allow installations to beshycome truly viable Look for many changes in this area in the upcoming years

Printing

Wide Format Printers

Emerging Technologies Digital Printing

In the past signage was painted or silk-screened graphics Advancements in digital printing continue to be make an impact on how signage is produced and designed Digital prints of maps for directories can be more colorful and pictorial The low cost of digital prints makes updates and changeable graphics possible Temporary signs and banners are cost effective weatherproof and can be produced quickly

The combination of technological advances in the materials or substrates to print on the inks and dyes to print with the digital printers and cutting equipment with-which to produce graphic continues to make marked improvement and increased signage capabilities The substrates in which stable images can be printed on has expanded Premium cast vinyl film designed for long-term outdoor signage is a flexible material for vehicle wraps Perforated material having a see through quality for windowbus wraps allow graphic to be placed on busses buildings windows elevator doors and almost any surface The difference of this enhanced resolution by high quality printers is unmistakable High-definition output is both brilliant and eye-catching Die sublimation is a printing process that allows for ink to penetrate various fabrics from very sheer see-through silks to UV stable inks on heavy awshyning canvas The Die-sub process has again expanded how and where a designer is able to place graphics

Large format printers printers with increasing resolution DPI (dots per inch) and printer speed impact graphic solutions and cost of on site graphics Large format printers can print on rolled paper or fabric of increasing widths Where once billshyboards where painted by hand now digital graphics can wrap an entire buildings Fabrication and computer controlled cutting technology allows for high production fabrication runs of fairly complex shapes All these production technologies are continually changing and advancing allowing for design solutions for signage to be cost effective and more creative

ldquoWide Format printers (contrast to vector-rendering plotters) are generally accepted to be any printer with a print width between 17 and 100 Printers over the 100rdquo mark may be called Super-Wide or Grand format Wide format printers are used to print banners posters and general signage and in some cases may be more ecoshynomical than short-run methods such as screen-printing Wide format printers genshyerally use a roll of print material rather than individual sheets and may incorporate hot-air dryers to prevent prints from sticking to themselves as they are producedrdquo

Digital Printing Categories

Digital printing is categorized according to ink used

bull Aqueous Thermal or Piezo inkjet printers using ink known as aqueous or water-based The term ldquowater baserdquo is a generally accepted misnomer The pigment is held in a non-reactive carrier solution that is sometimes water and other times a substitute liquid including a soy based liquid used by Kodak Aqueous ink generally comes in two flavors Dye and UV (alternatively known as pigment) Dye ink is high color low UV-resistant variety that offers the widest color gamut UV ink is generally duller in color but withstands fading from UV rays Similar in general principal to desktop inkjet printers Finished prints usshying dye inks must be laminated to protect them if they are to be used outdoors while prints using UV inks can be used outdoors un-laminated for a limited time Various materials are available including canvases banners metabolized plasshytic and cloth Aqueous technology requires that all materials be properly coated to accept and hold the ink

Printing Emerging Technologies Digital Printing and Laminates

bull Solvent ink This term is used to describe any ink that is not water-based Piezo inkjet printers whose inks use petroleum or a petroleum by-product such as acetone as its carrier liquid ldquoEco-solventrdquo inks usually contain glycol esters or glycol ether esters and are slower drying The resulting prints are waterproof Solvent inks may be used to print directly on uncoated vinyl and other media as well as ridged substrates such as Foam Board and PVC

bull Dye sublimation Inks are diffused into the special print media to produce continuous-tone prints of photographic quality

bull UV Piezo inkjet printers whose inks are UV-curable (dry when cured with UV light) The resulting prints are waterproof embossed and vibrant Any media material can be used in this technology polymer made media are best Ceramics glass metals and woods are also used with printing with this technology Important features of these UV-stable polyester films include low transmission of ultraviolet light high mechanical strength and good dimensional stability They also enable good adhesive bond strength to be achieved in coating printing and laminating The UV resistant ldquoHOSTAPHANreg Protective Filmsrdquo from Mitsubishi Polyester Film GmbH are biaxially oriented films made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) These polyester films offer good weathering resistance and very high absorption of UV radiation

ndash Alpha Imaging Wikipedia

Laminate Types The end result of digital printing is not always a flexible product Digital prints can be laminated on substrates to produce ridged panel graphics This type of product is excellent for out door use or interior high traffic wall panel installations Graphics with laminate protection extends the durability of a graphic panel with vandal resisshytant UV stable and waterproof qualities Below are some of the laminate options available in the sign industry

ndash Artcraft

bull Matte laminates Matte laminates provide the most protection against surface glare from lights The frosted surface however can make colors appear less intense and some brands are more susceptible to scratching Gloss laminates make colors appear vivid and bright but have serious glare problems and can scratch easily as well Often the best compromise is a lustre (satin) laminate It allows good color quality and minimizes glare

bull Graffiti-resistant laminates Graffiti-resistant laminates are made of a Teflon-like substance and allow for spray paint and felt pens to be washed right off The toughest come in high-gloss only These products cannot be used in conshyjunction with any plastic substrates There are serious compatibility issues

bull Scratch-resistant laminates Scratch-resistant laminates have textured surshyfaces The greater the texture the tougher the laminate but the more the color and image quality are compromised Polycarbonate laminates are the toughest of these but are too thick for edge-wrapping

bull Hot laminates Hot laminates become rigid when they cool The thicker the film the more rigid it becomes Standard thicknesses are 3 mil 5 mil and 10 mil 10 mil on both sides of a print becomes 20 mil when heated together These laminates have no UV rating donrsquot work well outdoors and donrsquot stick well to many types of digital prints This necessitates leaving an overlap of laminate around the edge of the print to seal it all in (known as encapsulation) Hot lamishynates are also available in matte or gloss

Printing Emerging Technologies Advancements in Cutting Routing and Milling

Graphic Image Digital Laminate

Routing

By far the most advanced technologically Graphic Imaging is a custom print option that captures full color photographic images Graphic Imaging can replicate images created on computer or designs that can be scanned electronically Since graphic image process is a full color reproduction the appearance of the print presents itself in a digital format Image resolution of 300 dpi or higher can produce clear images on a large finished replication One of the key factors to keep in mind about graphic image production is that a vendor can only reproduce the quality of what is given to then For example if the only available artwork is a faxed copy of a copy then our finished laminate will only duplicate that art In some cases Some vendors can recreate artwork images however this is time consuming and expensive to accomplish

Graphic panels do not need to be rectangles any more With the advancement in computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting systems the complexity of the cut shape is no longer a major design concern Most production runs for ridged panel substrates are done on various CNC cutting tables with plasma waterjet or milling and routing capabilities

A CNC Router is a numerical control tool that cuts objects from wood or plastic Parts of a project can be designed in the computer with a CADCAM program and then cut automatically using a router to produce a finished part The CNC router works like a printer Work is composed on a computer and then the design or drawshying is sent to the CNC router for the hard copy This outputs a 3-dimensional copy of the work The CNC router uses a cutting tool following the vector based computer instructions in Cartesian coordinate system (X Y Z) for 3D motion control This gives the computer a printer-like ability to drive a CNC machine to make dimensionshyal letters and other sign parts

Cutting Plasma Cutting is a process that is used to cut steel and other metals of different thicknesses (or sometimes other materials) using a plasma torch In this process an inert gas (in some units compressed air) is blown at high speed out of a nozzle at the same time an electrical arc is formed through that gas from the nozzle to the surface being cut turning some of that gas to plasma The plasma is sufficiently hot to melt the metal being cut and moves sufficiently fast to blow molten metal away from the cut Plasma is an effective means of cutting thin and thick materials alike Hand-held torches can usually cut up to 2 inches (51 mm) thick steel plate and stronger computer-controlled torches can cut steel up to 6 inches (150 mm) thick Since plasma cutters produce a very hot and very localized ldquoconerdquo to cut with they are extremely useful for cutting sheet metal in curved or angled shapes

Freehand Cut of a Thick Steel Plate The HF Contact type uses a high frequency high-voltage spark to ionize the air through the torch head and initiate an arc These require the torch to be in contact with the job material when starting and so are not suitable for applications involving computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting

The Pilot Arc type uses a two-cycle approach to producing plasma avoiding the need for initial contact First a high-voltage low current circuit is used to initialize a very small high-intensity spark within the torch body thereby generating a small pocket of plasma gas This is referred to as the pilot arc The pilot arc has a return electrical path built into the torch head The pilot arc will maintain itself until it is brought into proximity of the work piece where it ignites the main plasma-cutting arc Plasma arcs are extremely hot and are in the range of 25000 degC (45000 degF)

Water Jet Cutting

ldquoThe water jet is unparalleled in many aspects of cutting and has changed the way many products are manufactured Many types of water jets exist today including pure water jets (water only) abrasive water jets percussive water jets cavitation jets and hybrid jets Operation of the cutter is commonly connected to a high-presshysure water pump where the water is then ejected from the nozzle cutting through the material by spraying it with the jet of high-speed water Additives in the form of suspended grit or other abrasives such as garnet and aluminum oxide can assist in this process

An important benefit of the water jet cutter is the ability to cut material without intershyfering with the materialrsquos inherent structure as there is no ldquoheat-affected zonerdquo Water jet cutters are also capable of producing rather intricate cuts in material With speshycialized software and 3-D machining heads complex 3-D shapes can be produced

Advances in control and motion technology 5-axis water jet cutting (abrasive and pure) has become a reality

Water jet is considered a ldquogreenrdquo technology Water jets produce no hazardous waste reducing waste disposal costs They can cut off large pieces of reusable scrap material that might have been lost using traditional cutting methods Parts can be closely nested to maximize material use and the water jet saves material by creating very little kerf Water jets use very little water (a half gallon to approximately one gallon per minute depending on cutting head orifice size) and the water that is used can be recycled using a closed-looped system Wastewater usually is clean enough to filter and dispose of down a drain The garnet abrasive is a non-toxic natural substance that can be recycled for repeated use Garnet usually can be disposed of in a landfill Water jets also eliminate airborne dust particles smoke fumes and contaminants from cutting materials such as asbestos and fiberglass This greatly improves the work environment and reduces problems arising from operator exposurerdquo

Photo Polymer

Advancements in Materials

ldquoA photopolymer is a polymer that changes its properties when exposed to light often in the ultraviolet spectrum These polymers are useful in dentistry for fillings and in rapid prototyping in the stereo lithography and 3D printing processes In the past this material was also used in the creation of ABAADA compliant Architectural Signage However the photo polymer does NOT produce a domed Braille dot And an application of paint to form the dome is required This material also used as a relief plate for flexographic printing can be used in plastics paper labels and sign inserts Some commercial brands worldwide include DuPont Cyrel BASF Nyloflex Novacryl Elaslon McDermid and Soleflex Exaprint

The basic material is soft and light sensitive A selective exposure to UV lamps is then applied then developed and cured the procedure involves exposing image wise a photopolymerizable element to actinic radiation emitting at a wavelength in the range of 365 nm removing the unexposed or unpolymerized areas of the plate with solvent drying the resulting plate The photopolymerized element can then be detackified by exposing the element to UV radiation emitting a wavelength in the range of 254 nm To ensure final plate hardening and photopolymerization the printing element can be further post-exposed to radiation emitting at wavelengths in the range of 365 nm

Fabrication Emerging Technologies Advancements in Cutting Routing and Milling

Current platemaking processes utilize various sources of radiation for developing relief images and maximizing plate hardening For example actinic radiation from a variety of sources can be used including commercial ultraviolet fluorescent tubes medium high and low pressure mercury vapor lamps argon glow lamps photographic flood lamps pulsed xenon lamps carbon arc lamps etc Called photopolymeric flexographic relief printing plates in the flexographic printing plate industry because maximum consistent print quality will be obtained using plates with reduced shrinkagerdquo

Introduction Sustainability

Sustainability Executive Order (EO) 13514 ldquoFederal Leadership in Environmental Energy and Economic Performancerdquo was signed by President Obama on 5 October 2009 This EO does not rescindeliminate the requirements of EO 13423 Instead it expands on the energy reduction and environmental performance requirements for Federal agencies identified in EO 13423

The goal of EO 13514 is ldquoto establish an integrated strategy towards sustainability in the Federal Government and to make reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) a priority for Federal agenciesrdquo

Towards meeting that goal Federal agencies are required to meet a series of deadshylines critical to achieving the GHG reduction goals of the EO This EO also sets non-numerical targets that agencies must reach The full text of the required targets and strategies can be found within Executive Order 13514

Green Strategies for Signs

Signs in and of themselves are not an item that can be considered ldquogreenrdquo or a LEEDreg product or product created from materials that are recycled However there are many elements related to signs that can contribute to accomplishing a green strategy for signs

bull Look into working with a sign company that does environmentally responsible production

Ask what programs a company has in place for things like solvent use reducshytion water conservation disposal and recycling of manufacturing waste and by products Do they use low VOC paints do they use T5 or T8 bulbs in building ilshyluminated signs do they build illuminated signs and letters with LED lighting do they install signs on the wall with mechanical fasteners instead of glue

bull Analyze the various elements of the design fabrication installation and product life cycle to eliminate materials and methods that are contrary to the intent of sustainability

Look toward the use of durable materials that fit a signs application or location in order to extend the life of the sign Implement a design that allows for signing to be updated with discarding the entire sign Select materials that will not deteshyriate from weather or environmental conditions

Utilize signs that are constructed from a component based system that allows for message modification and that can incorporate changes without have to reshyplace the entire sign Recycle signs whenever possible

bull A sign program can aid in the qualifications of a building for a LEEDreg rating

A sign program can be developed that educates the public on the benefits of a green building It can highlight and identify elements systems and materials of a building that specifically contribute to the LEEDreg rating

bull Look specifically at materials involved in producing signs

A material such as aluminum is commonly used in signs can be recycled This is a better material selection than say wood even considering that wood is also a product that can be recycled The life cycle of a wood sign is considerably shorter than a sign made of aluminum so it enters the ldquowaste streamrdquo sooner

Printing

Wide Format Printers

Emerging Technologies Digital Printing

In the past signage was painted or silk-screened graphics Advancements in digital printing continue to be make an impact on how signage is produced and designed Digital prints of maps for directories can be more colorful and pictorial The low cost of digital prints makes updates and changeable graphics possible Temporary signs and banners are cost effective weatherproof and can be produced quickly

The combination of technological advances in the materials or substrates to print on the inks and dyes to print with the digital printers and cutting equipment with-which to produce graphic continues to make marked improvement and increased signage capabilities The substrates in which stable images can be printed on has expanded Premium cast vinyl film designed for long-term outdoor signage is a flexible material for vehicle wraps Perforated material having a see through quality for windowbus wraps allow graphic to be placed on busses buildings windows elevator doors and almost any surface The difference of this enhanced resolution by high quality printers is unmistakable High-definition output is both brilliant and eye-catching Die sublimation is a printing process that allows for ink to penetrate various fabrics from very sheer see-through silks to UV stable inks on heavy awshyning canvas The Die-sub process has again expanded how and where a designer is able to place graphics

Large format printers printers with increasing resolution DPI (dots per inch) and printer speed impact graphic solutions and cost of on site graphics Large format printers can print on rolled paper or fabric of increasing widths Where once billshyboards where painted by hand now digital graphics can wrap an entire buildings Fabrication and computer controlled cutting technology allows for high production fabrication runs of fairly complex shapes All these production technologies are continually changing and advancing allowing for design solutions for signage to be cost effective and more creative

ldquoWide Format printers (contrast to vector-rendering plotters) are generally accepted to be any printer with a print width between 17 and 100 Printers over the 100rdquo mark may be called Super-Wide or Grand format Wide format printers are used to print banners posters and general signage and in some cases may be more ecoshynomical than short-run methods such as screen-printing Wide format printers genshyerally use a roll of print material rather than individual sheets and may incorporate hot-air dryers to prevent prints from sticking to themselves as they are producedrdquo

Digital Printing Categories

Digital printing is categorized according to ink used

bull Aqueous Thermal or Piezo inkjet printers using ink known as aqueous or water-based The term ldquowater baserdquo is a generally accepted misnomer The pigment is held in a non-reactive carrier solution that is sometimes water and other times a substitute liquid including a soy based liquid used by Kodak Aqueous ink generally comes in two flavors Dye and UV (alternatively known as pigment) Dye ink is high color low UV-resistant variety that offers the widest color gamut UV ink is generally duller in color but withstands fading from UV rays Similar in general principal to desktop inkjet printers Finished prints usshying dye inks must be laminated to protect them if they are to be used outdoors while prints using UV inks can be used outdoors un-laminated for a limited time Various materials are available including canvases banners metabolized plasshytic and cloth Aqueous technology requires that all materials be properly coated to accept and hold the ink

Printing Emerging Technologies Digital Printing and Laminates

bull Solvent ink This term is used to describe any ink that is not water-based Piezo inkjet printers whose inks use petroleum or a petroleum by-product such as acetone as its carrier liquid ldquoEco-solventrdquo inks usually contain glycol esters or glycol ether esters and are slower drying The resulting prints are waterproof Solvent inks may be used to print directly on uncoated vinyl and other media as well as ridged substrates such as Foam Board and PVC

bull Dye sublimation Inks are diffused into the special print media to produce continuous-tone prints of photographic quality

bull UV Piezo inkjet printers whose inks are UV-curable (dry when cured with UV light) The resulting prints are waterproof embossed and vibrant Any media material can be used in this technology polymer made media are best Ceramics glass metals and woods are also used with printing with this technology Important features of these UV-stable polyester films include low transmission of ultraviolet light high mechanical strength and good dimensional stability They also enable good adhesive bond strength to be achieved in coating printing and laminating The UV resistant ldquoHOSTAPHANreg Protective Filmsrdquo from Mitsubishi Polyester Film GmbH are biaxially oriented films made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) These polyester films offer good weathering resistance and very high absorption of UV radiation

ndash Alpha Imaging Wikipedia

Laminate Types The end result of digital printing is not always a flexible product Digital prints can be laminated on substrates to produce ridged panel graphics This type of product is excellent for out door use or interior high traffic wall panel installations Graphics with laminate protection extends the durability of a graphic panel with vandal resisshytant UV stable and waterproof qualities Below are some of the laminate options available in the sign industry

ndash Artcraft

bull Matte laminates Matte laminates provide the most protection against surface glare from lights The frosted surface however can make colors appear less intense and some brands are more susceptible to scratching Gloss laminates make colors appear vivid and bright but have serious glare problems and can scratch easily as well Often the best compromise is a lustre (satin) laminate It allows good color quality and minimizes glare

bull Graffiti-resistant laminates Graffiti-resistant laminates are made of a Teflon-like substance and allow for spray paint and felt pens to be washed right off The toughest come in high-gloss only These products cannot be used in conshyjunction with any plastic substrates There are serious compatibility issues

bull Scratch-resistant laminates Scratch-resistant laminates have textured surshyfaces The greater the texture the tougher the laminate but the more the color and image quality are compromised Polycarbonate laminates are the toughest of these but are too thick for edge-wrapping

bull Hot laminates Hot laminates become rigid when they cool The thicker the film the more rigid it becomes Standard thicknesses are 3 mil 5 mil and 10 mil 10 mil on both sides of a print becomes 20 mil when heated together These laminates have no UV rating donrsquot work well outdoors and donrsquot stick well to many types of digital prints This necessitates leaving an overlap of laminate around the edge of the print to seal it all in (known as encapsulation) Hot lamishynates are also available in matte or gloss

Printing Emerging Technologies Advancements in Cutting Routing and Milling

Graphic Image Digital Laminate

Routing

By far the most advanced technologically Graphic Imaging is a custom print option that captures full color photographic images Graphic Imaging can replicate images created on computer or designs that can be scanned electronically Since graphic image process is a full color reproduction the appearance of the print presents itself in a digital format Image resolution of 300 dpi or higher can produce clear images on a large finished replication One of the key factors to keep in mind about graphic image production is that a vendor can only reproduce the quality of what is given to then For example if the only available artwork is a faxed copy of a copy then our finished laminate will only duplicate that art In some cases Some vendors can recreate artwork images however this is time consuming and expensive to accomplish

Graphic panels do not need to be rectangles any more With the advancement in computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting systems the complexity of the cut shape is no longer a major design concern Most production runs for ridged panel substrates are done on various CNC cutting tables with plasma waterjet or milling and routing capabilities

A CNC Router is a numerical control tool that cuts objects from wood or plastic Parts of a project can be designed in the computer with a CADCAM program and then cut automatically using a router to produce a finished part The CNC router works like a printer Work is composed on a computer and then the design or drawshying is sent to the CNC router for the hard copy This outputs a 3-dimensional copy of the work The CNC router uses a cutting tool following the vector based computer instructions in Cartesian coordinate system (X Y Z) for 3D motion control This gives the computer a printer-like ability to drive a CNC machine to make dimensionshyal letters and other sign parts

Cutting Plasma Cutting is a process that is used to cut steel and other metals of different thicknesses (or sometimes other materials) using a plasma torch In this process an inert gas (in some units compressed air) is blown at high speed out of a nozzle at the same time an electrical arc is formed through that gas from the nozzle to the surface being cut turning some of that gas to plasma The plasma is sufficiently hot to melt the metal being cut and moves sufficiently fast to blow molten metal away from the cut Plasma is an effective means of cutting thin and thick materials alike Hand-held torches can usually cut up to 2 inches (51 mm) thick steel plate and stronger computer-controlled torches can cut steel up to 6 inches (150 mm) thick Since plasma cutters produce a very hot and very localized ldquoconerdquo to cut with they are extremely useful for cutting sheet metal in curved or angled shapes

Freehand Cut of a Thick Steel Plate The HF Contact type uses a high frequency high-voltage spark to ionize the air through the torch head and initiate an arc These require the torch to be in contact with the job material when starting and so are not suitable for applications involving computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting

The Pilot Arc type uses a two-cycle approach to producing plasma avoiding the need for initial contact First a high-voltage low current circuit is used to initialize a very small high-intensity spark within the torch body thereby generating a small pocket of plasma gas This is referred to as the pilot arc The pilot arc has a return electrical path built into the torch head The pilot arc will maintain itself until it is brought into proximity of the work piece where it ignites the main plasma-cutting arc Plasma arcs are extremely hot and are in the range of 25000 degC (45000 degF)

Water Jet Cutting

ldquoThe water jet is unparalleled in many aspects of cutting and has changed the way many products are manufactured Many types of water jets exist today including pure water jets (water only) abrasive water jets percussive water jets cavitation jets and hybrid jets Operation of the cutter is commonly connected to a high-presshysure water pump where the water is then ejected from the nozzle cutting through the material by spraying it with the jet of high-speed water Additives in the form of suspended grit or other abrasives such as garnet and aluminum oxide can assist in this process

An important benefit of the water jet cutter is the ability to cut material without intershyfering with the materialrsquos inherent structure as there is no ldquoheat-affected zonerdquo Water jet cutters are also capable of producing rather intricate cuts in material With speshycialized software and 3-D machining heads complex 3-D shapes can be produced

Advances in control and motion technology 5-axis water jet cutting (abrasive and pure) has become a reality

Water jet is considered a ldquogreenrdquo technology Water jets produce no hazardous waste reducing waste disposal costs They can cut off large pieces of reusable scrap material that might have been lost using traditional cutting methods Parts can be closely nested to maximize material use and the water jet saves material by creating very little kerf Water jets use very little water (a half gallon to approximately one gallon per minute depending on cutting head orifice size) and the water that is used can be recycled using a closed-looped system Wastewater usually is clean enough to filter and dispose of down a drain The garnet abrasive is a non-toxic natural substance that can be recycled for repeated use Garnet usually can be disposed of in a landfill Water jets also eliminate airborne dust particles smoke fumes and contaminants from cutting materials such as asbestos and fiberglass This greatly improves the work environment and reduces problems arising from operator exposurerdquo

Photo Polymer

Advancements in Materials

ldquoA photopolymer is a polymer that changes its properties when exposed to light often in the ultraviolet spectrum These polymers are useful in dentistry for fillings and in rapid prototyping in the stereo lithography and 3D printing processes In the past this material was also used in the creation of ABAADA compliant Architectural Signage However the photo polymer does NOT produce a domed Braille dot And an application of paint to form the dome is required This material also used as a relief plate for flexographic printing can be used in plastics paper labels and sign inserts Some commercial brands worldwide include DuPont Cyrel BASF Nyloflex Novacryl Elaslon McDermid and Soleflex Exaprint

The basic material is soft and light sensitive A selective exposure to UV lamps is then applied then developed and cured the procedure involves exposing image wise a photopolymerizable element to actinic radiation emitting at a wavelength in the range of 365 nm removing the unexposed or unpolymerized areas of the plate with solvent drying the resulting plate The photopolymerized element can then be detackified by exposing the element to UV radiation emitting a wavelength in the range of 254 nm To ensure final plate hardening and photopolymerization the printing element can be further post-exposed to radiation emitting at wavelengths in the range of 365 nm

Fabrication Emerging Technologies Advancements in Cutting Routing and Milling

Current platemaking processes utilize various sources of radiation for developing relief images and maximizing plate hardening For example actinic radiation from a variety of sources can be used including commercial ultraviolet fluorescent tubes medium high and low pressure mercury vapor lamps argon glow lamps photographic flood lamps pulsed xenon lamps carbon arc lamps etc Called photopolymeric flexographic relief printing plates in the flexographic printing plate industry because maximum consistent print quality will be obtained using plates with reduced shrinkagerdquo

Introduction Sustainability

Sustainability Executive Order (EO) 13514 ldquoFederal Leadership in Environmental Energy and Economic Performancerdquo was signed by President Obama on 5 October 2009 This EO does not rescindeliminate the requirements of EO 13423 Instead it expands on the energy reduction and environmental performance requirements for Federal agencies identified in EO 13423

The goal of EO 13514 is ldquoto establish an integrated strategy towards sustainability in the Federal Government and to make reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) a priority for Federal agenciesrdquo

Towards meeting that goal Federal agencies are required to meet a series of deadshylines critical to achieving the GHG reduction goals of the EO This EO also sets non-numerical targets that agencies must reach The full text of the required targets and strategies can be found within Executive Order 13514

Green Strategies for Signs

Signs in and of themselves are not an item that can be considered ldquogreenrdquo or a LEEDreg product or product created from materials that are recycled However there are many elements related to signs that can contribute to accomplishing a green strategy for signs

bull Look into working with a sign company that does environmentally responsible production

Ask what programs a company has in place for things like solvent use reducshytion water conservation disposal and recycling of manufacturing waste and by products Do they use low VOC paints do they use T5 or T8 bulbs in building ilshyluminated signs do they build illuminated signs and letters with LED lighting do they install signs on the wall with mechanical fasteners instead of glue

bull Analyze the various elements of the design fabrication installation and product life cycle to eliminate materials and methods that are contrary to the intent of sustainability

Look toward the use of durable materials that fit a signs application or location in order to extend the life of the sign Implement a design that allows for signing to be updated with discarding the entire sign Select materials that will not deteshyriate from weather or environmental conditions

Utilize signs that are constructed from a component based system that allows for message modification and that can incorporate changes without have to reshyplace the entire sign Recycle signs whenever possible

bull A sign program can aid in the qualifications of a building for a LEEDreg rating

A sign program can be developed that educates the public on the benefits of a green building It can highlight and identify elements systems and materials of a building that specifically contribute to the LEEDreg rating

bull Look specifically at materials involved in producing signs

A material such as aluminum is commonly used in signs can be recycled This is a better material selection than say wood even considering that wood is also a product that can be recycled The life cycle of a wood sign is considerably shorter than a sign made of aluminum so it enters the ldquowaste streamrdquo sooner

Printing Emerging Technologies Digital Printing and Laminates

bull Solvent ink This term is used to describe any ink that is not water-based Piezo inkjet printers whose inks use petroleum or a petroleum by-product such as acetone as its carrier liquid ldquoEco-solventrdquo inks usually contain glycol esters or glycol ether esters and are slower drying The resulting prints are waterproof Solvent inks may be used to print directly on uncoated vinyl and other media as well as ridged substrates such as Foam Board and PVC

bull Dye sublimation Inks are diffused into the special print media to produce continuous-tone prints of photographic quality

bull UV Piezo inkjet printers whose inks are UV-curable (dry when cured with UV light) The resulting prints are waterproof embossed and vibrant Any media material can be used in this technology polymer made media are best Ceramics glass metals and woods are also used with printing with this technology Important features of these UV-stable polyester films include low transmission of ultraviolet light high mechanical strength and good dimensional stability They also enable good adhesive bond strength to be achieved in coating printing and laminating The UV resistant ldquoHOSTAPHANreg Protective Filmsrdquo from Mitsubishi Polyester Film GmbH are biaxially oriented films made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) These polyester films offer good weathering resistance and very high absorption of UV radiation

ndash Alpha Imaging Wikipedia

Laminate Types The end result of digital printing is not always a flexible product Digital prints can be laminated on substrates to produce ridged panel graphics This type of product is excellent for out door use or interior high traffic wall panel installations Graphics with laminate protection extends the durability of a graphic panel with vandal resisshytant UV stable and waterproof qualities Below are some of the laminate options available in the sign industry

ndash Artcraft

bull Matte laminates Matte laminates provide the most protection against surface glare from lights The frosted surface however can make colors appear less intense and some brands are more susceptible to scratching Gloss laminates make colors appear vivid and bright but have serious glare problems and can scratch easily as well Often the best compromise is a lustre (satin) laminate It allows good color quality and minimizes glare

bull Graffiti-resistant laminates Graffiti-resistant laminates are made of a Teflon-like substance and allow for spray paint and felt pens to be washed right off The toughest come in high-gloss only These products cannot be used in conshyjunction with any plastic substrates There are serious compatibility issues

bull Scratch-resistant laminates Scratch-resistant laminates have textured surshyfaces The greater the texture the tougher the laminate but the more the color and image quality are compromised Polycarbonate laminates are the toughest of these but are too thick for edge-wrapping

bull Hot laminates Hot laminates become rigid when they cool The thicker the film the more rigid it becomes Standard thicknesses are 3 mil 5 mil and 10 mil 10 mil on both sides of a print becomes 20 mil when heated together These laminates have no UV rating donrsquot work well outdoors and donrsquot stick well to many types of digital prints This necessitates leaving an overlap of laminate around the edge of the print to seal it all in (known as encapsulation) Hot lamishynates are also available in matte or gloss

By far the most advanced technologically Graphic Imaging is a custom print option that captures full color photographic images Graphic Imaging can replicate images created on computer or designs that can be scanned electronically Since graphic image process is a full color reproduction the appearance of the print presents itself in a digital format Image resolution of 300 dpi or higher can produce clear images on a large finished replication One of the key factors to keep in mind about graphic image production is that a vendor can only reproduce the quality of what is given to then For example if the only available artwork is a faxed copy of a copy then our finished laminate will only duplicate that art In some cases Some vendors can recreate artwork images however this is time consuming and expensive to accomplish

Graphic panels do not need to be rectangles any more With the advancement in computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting systems the complexity of the cut shape is no longer a major design concern Most production runs for ridged panel substrates are done on various CNC cutting tables with plasma waterjet or milling and routing capabilities

A CNC Router is a numerical control tool that cuts objects from wood or plastic Parts of a project can be designed in the computer with a CADCAM program and then cut automatically using a router to produce a finished part The CNC router works like a printer Work is composed on a computer and then the design or drawshying is sent to the CNC router for the hard copy This outputs a 3-dimensional copy of the work The CNC router uses a cutting tool following the vector based computer instructions in Cartesian coordinate system (X Y Z) for 3D motion control This gives the computer a printer-like ability to drive a CNC machine to make dimensionshyal letters and other sign parts

Cutting Plasma Cutting is a process that is used to cut steel and other metals of different thicknesses (or sometimes other materials) using a plasma torch In this process an inert gas (in some units compressed air) is blown at high speed out of a nozzle at the same time an electrical arc is formed through that gas from the nozzle to the surface being cut turning some of that gas to plasma The plasma is sufficiently hot to melt the metal being cut and moves sufficiently fast to blow molten metal away from the cut Plasma is an effective means of cutting thin and thick materials alike Hand-held torches can usually cut up to 2 inches (51 mm) thick steel plate and stronger computer-controlled torches can cut steel up to 6 inches (150 mm) thick Since plasma cutters produce a very hot and very localized ldquoconerdquo to cut with they are extremely useful for cutting sheet metal in curved or angled shapes

Freehand Cut of a Thick Steel Plate The HF Contact type uses a high frequency high-voltage spark to ionize the air through the torch head and initiate an arc These require the torch to be in contact with the job material when starting and so are not suitable for applications involving computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting

The Pilot Arc type uses a two-cycle approach to producing plasma avoiding the need for initial contact First a high-voltage low current circuit is used to initialize a very small high-intensity spark within the torch body thereby generating a small pocket of plasma gas This is referred to as the pilot arc The pilot arc has a return electrical path built into the torch head The pilot arc will maintain itself until it is brought into proximity of the work piece where it ignites the main plasma-cutting arc Plasma arcs are extremely hot and are in the range of 25000 degC (45000 degF)

Water Jet Cutting

ldquoThe water jet is unparalleled in many aspects of cutting and has changed the way many products are manufactured Many types of water jets exist today including pure water jets (water only) abrasive water jets percussive water jets cavitation jets and hybrid jets Operation of the cutter is commonly connected to a high-presshysure water pump where the water is then ejected from the nozzle cutting through the material by spraying it with the jet of high-speed water Additives in the form of suspended grit or other abrasives such as garnet and aluminum oxide can assist in this process

An important benefit of the water jet cutter is the ability to cut material without intershyfering with the materialrsquos inherent structure as there is no ldquoheat-affected zonerdquo Water jet cutters are also capable of producing rather intricate cuts in material With speshycialized software and 3-D machining heads complex 3-D shapes can be produced

Advances in control and motion technology 5-axis water jet cutting (abrasive and pure) has become a reality

Water jet is considered a ldquogreenrdquo technology Water jets produce no hazardous waste reducing waste disposal costs They can cut off large pieces of reusable scrap material that might have been lost using traditional cutting methods Parts can be closely nested to maximize material use and the water jet saves material by creating very little kerf Water jets use very little water (a half gallon to approximately one gallon per minute depending on cutting head orifice size) and the water that is used can be recycled using a closed-looped system Wastewater usually is clean enough to filter and dispose of down a drain The garnet abrasive is a non-toxic natural substance that can be recycled for repeated use Garnet usually can be disposed of in a landfill Water jets also eliminate airborne dust particles smoke fumes and contaminants from cutting materials such as asbestos and fiberglass This greatly improves the work environment and reduces problems arising from operator exposurerdquo

Photo Polymer

Advancements in Materials

ldquoA photopolymer is a polymer that changes its properties when exposed to light often in the ultraviolet spectrum These polymers are useful in dentistry for fillings and in rapid prototyping in the stereo lithography and 3D printing processes In the past this material was also used in the creation of ABAADA compliant Architectural Signage However the photo polymer does NOT produce a domed Braille dot And an application of paint to form the dome is required This material also used as a relief plate for flexographic printing can be used in plastics paper labels and sign inserts Some commercial brands worldwide include DuPont Cyrel BASF Nyloflex Novacryl Elaslon McDermid and Soleflex Exaprint

The basic material is soft and light sensitive A selective exposure to UV lamps is then applied then developed and cured the procedure involves exposing image wise a photopolymerizable element to actinic radiation emitting at a wavelength in the range of 365 nm removing the unexposed or unpolymerized areas of the plate with solvent drying the resulting plate The photopolymerized element can then be detackified by exposing the element to UV radiation emitting a wavelength in the range of 254 nm To ensure final plate hardening and photopolymerization the printing element can be further post-exposed to radiation emitting at wavelengths in the range of 365 nm

Current platemaking processes utilize various sources of radiation for developing relief images and maximizing plate hardening For example actinic radiation from a variety of sources can be used including commercial ultraviolet fluorescent tubes medium high and low pressure mercury vapor lamps argon glow lamps photographic flood lamps pulsed xenon lamps carbon arc lamps etc Called photopolymeric flexographic relief printing plates in the flexographic printing plate industry because maximum consistent print quality will be obtained using plates with reduced shrinkagerdquo

Introduction Sustainability

Sustainability Executive Order (EO) 13514 ldquoFederal Leadership in Environmental Energy and Economic Performancerdquo was signed by President Obama on 5 October 2009 This EO does not rescindeliminate the requirements of EO 13423 Instead it expands on the energy reduction and environmental performance requirements for Federal agencies identified in EO 13423

The goal of EO 13514 is ldquoto establish an integrated strategy towards sustainability in the Federal Government and to make reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) a priority for Federal agenciesrdquo

Towards meeting that goal Federal agencies are required to meet a series of deadshylines critical to achieving the GHG reduction goals of the EO This EO also sets non-numerical targets that agencies must reach The full text of the required targets and strategies can be found within Executive Order 13514

Green Strategies for Signs

Signs in and of themselves are not an item that can be considered ldquogreenrdquo or a LEEDreg product or product created from materials that are recycled However there are many elements related to signs that can contribute to accomplishing a green strategy for signs

bull Look into working with a sign company that does environmentally responsible production

Ask what programs a company has in place for things like solvent use reducshytion water conservation disposal and recycling of manufacturing waste and by products Do they use low VOC paints do they use T5 or T8 bulbs in building ilshyluminated signs do they build illuminated signs and letters with LED lighting do they install signs on the wall with mechanical fasteners instead of glue

bull Analyze the various elements of the design fabrication installation and product life cycle to eliminate materials and methods that are contrary to the intent of sustainability

Look toward the use of durable materials that fit a signs application or location in order to extend the life of the sign Implement a design that allows for signing to be updated with discarding the entire sign Select materials that will not deteshyriate from weather or environmental conditions

Utilize signs that are constructed from a component based system that allows for message modification and that can incorporate changes without have to reshyplace the entire sign Recycle signs whenever possible

bull A sign program can aid in the qualifications of a building for a LEEDreg rating

A sign program can be developed that educates the public on the benefits of a green building It can highlight and identify elements systems and materials of a building that specifically contribute to the LEEDreg rating

bull Look specifically at materials involved in producing signs

A material such as aluminum is commonly used in signs can be recycled This is a better material selection than say wood even considering that wood is also a product that can be recycled The life cycle of a wood sign is considerably shorter than a sign made of aluminum so it enters the ldquowaste streamrdquo sooner

Introduction Sign Index

Sign Numbering System

Example Sign

Each sign in this guide is given a specific index number that can be used to easily identify each individual sign Signs are named based on the sign type the family of sign they belong to and then given a specific number Signs are grouped based on their purpose configuration layout and installation specifications Certain sign families may have only one sign whereas others may have several signs assigned to them

Certain signs that have been used in the past may have been moved renamed or have been removed from the guide altogether when determining which signs are needed consult the guide to obtain the appropriate number for each necessary sign If planning on updating any or all signs refer to Section 2- ldquoNeed a Signrdquo Program of the Guide for more information

Signs are named in the following manner

IN - 1701 A XX Designates the type of sign

IN= Interior Signs

SP= Specialty Signs

EI= Exterior Illuminated Signs

Printing Emerging Technologies Advancements in Cutting Routing and Milling

Graphic Image Digital Laminate

Routing

By far the most advanced technologically Graphic Imaging is a custom print option that captures full color photographic images Graphic Imaging can replicate images created on computer or designs that can be scanned electronically Since graphic image process is a full color reproduction the appearance of the print presents itself in a digital format Image resolution of 300 dpi or higher can produce clear images on a large finished replication One of the key factors to keep in mind about graphic image production is that a vendor can only reproduce the quality of what is given to then For example if the only available artwork is a faxed copy of a copy then our finished laminate will only duplicate that art In some cases Some vendors can recreate artwork images however this is time consuming and expensive to accomplish

Graphic panels do not need to be rectangles any more With the advancement in computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting systems the complexity of the cut shape is no longer a major design concern Most production runs for ridged panel substrates are done on various CNC cutting tables with plasma waterjet or milling and routing capabilities

A CNC Router is a numerical control tool that cuts objects from wood or plastic Parts of a project can be designed in the computer with a CADCAM program and then cut automatically using a router to produce a finished part The CNC router works like a printer Work is composed on a computer and then the design or drawshying is sent to the CNC router for the hard copy This outputs a 3-dimensional copy of the work The CNC router uses a cutting tool following the vector based computer instructions in Cartesian coordinate system (X Y Z) for 3D motion control This gives the computer a printer-like ability to drive a CNC machine to make dimensionshyal letters and other sign parts

Cutting Plasma Cutting is a process that is used to cut steel and other metals of different thicknesses (or sometimes other materials) using a plasma torch In this process an inert gas (in some units compressed air) is blown at high speed out of a nozzle at the same time an electrical arc is formed through that gas from the nozzle to the surface being cut turning some of that gas to plasma The plasma is sufficiently hot to melt the metal being cut and moves sufficiently fast to blow molten metal away from the cut Plasma is an effective means of cutting thin and thick materials alike Hand-held torches can usually cut up to 2 inches (51 mm) thick steel plate and stronger computer-controlled torches can cut steel up to 6 inches (150 mm) thick Since plasma cutters produce a very hot and very localized ldquoconerdquo to cut with they are extremely useful for cutting sheet metal in curved or angled shapes

Freehand Cut of a Thick Steel Plate The HF Contact type uses a high frequency high-voltage spark to ionize the air through the torch head and initiate an arc These require the torch to be in contact with the job material when starting and so are not suitable for applications involving computer numerical controlled (CNC) cutting

The Pilot Arc type uses a two-cycle approach to producing plasma avoiding the need for initial contact First a high-voltage low current circuit is used to initialize a very small high-intensity spark within the torch body thereby generating a small pocket of plasma gas This is referred to as the pilot arc The pilot arc has a return electrical path built into the torch head The pilot arc will maintain itself until it is brought into proximity of the work piece where it ignites the main plasma-cutting arc Plasma arcs are extremely hot and are in the range of 25000 degC (45000 degF)

Fabrication Emerging Technologies Advancements in Cutting Routing and Milling

Water Jet Cutting

ldquoThe water jet is unparalleled in many aspects of cutting and has changed the way many products are manufactured Many types of water jets exist today including pure water jets (water only) abrasive water jets percussive water jets cavitation jets and hybrid jets Operation of the cutter is commonly connected to a high-presshysure water pump where the water is then ejected from the nozzle cutting through the material by spraying it with the jet of high-speed water Additives in the form of suspended grit or other abrasives such as garnet and aluminum oxide can assist in this process

An important benefit of the water jet cutter is the ability to cut material without intershyfering with the materialrsquos inherent structure as there is no ldquoheat-affected zonerdquo Water jet cutters are also capable of producing rather intricate cuts in material With speshycialized software and 3-D machining heads complex 3-D shapes can be produced

Advances in control and motion technology 5-axis water jet cutting (abrasive and pure) has become a reality

Water jet is considered a ldquogreenrdquo technology Water jets produce no hazardous waste reducing waste disposal costs They can cut off large pieces of reusable scrap material that might have been lost using traditional cutting methods Parts can be closely nested to maximize material use and the water jet saves material by creating very little kerf Water jets use very little water (a half gallon to approximately one gallon per minute depending on cutting head orifice size) and the water that is used can be recycled using a closed-looped system Wastewater usually is clean enough to filter and dispose of down a drain The garnet abrasive is a non-toxic natural substance that can be recycled for repeated use Garnet usually can be disposed of in a landfill Water jets also eliminate airborne dust particles smoke fumes and contaminants from cutting materials such as asbestos and fiberglass This greatly improves the work environment and reduces problems arising from operator exposurerdquo

Photo Polymer

Advancements in Materials

ldquoA photopolymer is a polymer that changes its properties when exposed to light often in the ultraviolet spectrum These polymers are useful in dentistry for fillings and in rapid prototyping in the stereo lithography and 3D printing processes In the past this material was also used in the creation of ABAADA compliant Architectural Signage However the photo polymer does NOT produce a domed Braille dot And an application of paint to form the dome is required This material also used as a relief plate for flexographic printing can be used in plastics paper labels and sign inserts Some commercial brands worldwide include DuPont Cyrel BASF Nyloflex Novacryl Elaslon McDermid and Soleflex Exaprint

The basic material is soft and light sensitive A selective exposure to UV lamps is then applied then developed and cured the procedure involves exposing image wise a photopolymerizable element to actinic radiation emitting at a wavelength in the range of 365 nm removing the unexposed or unpolymerized areas of the plate with solvent drying the resulting plate The photopolymerized element can then be detackified by exposing the element to UV radiation emitting a wavelength in the range of 254 nm To ensure final plate hardening and photopolymerization the printing element can be further post-exposed to radiation emitting at wavelengths in the range of 365 nm

Fabrication Emerging Technologies Advancements in Cutting Routing and Milling

Current platemaking processes utilize various sources of radiation for developing relief images and maximizing plate hardening For example actinic radiation from a variety of sources can be used including commercial ultraviolet fluorescent tubes medium high and low pressure mercury vapor lamps argon glow lamps photographic flood lamps pulsed xenon lamps carbon arc lamps etc Called photopolymeric flexographic relief printing plates in the flexographic printing plate industry because maximum consistent print quality will be obtained using plates with reduced shrinkagerdquo

Introduction Sustainability

Sustainability Executive Order (EO) 13514 ldquoFederal Leadership in Environmental Energy and Economic Performancerdquo was signed by President Obama on 5 October 2009 This EO does not rescindeliminate the requirements of EO 13423 Instead it expands on the energy reduction and environmental performance requirements for Federal agencies identified in EO 13423

The goal of EO 13514 is ldquoto establish an integrated strategy towards sustainability in the Federal Government and to make reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) a priority for Federal agenciesrdquo

Towards meeting that goal Federal agencies are required to meet a series of deadshylines critical to achieving the GHG reduction goals of the EO This EO also sets non-numerical targets that agencies must reach The full text of the required targets and strategies can be found within Executive Order 13514

Green Strategies for Signs

Signs in and of themselves are not an item that can be considered ldquogreenrdquo or a LEEDreg product or product created from materials that are recycled However there are many elements related to signs that can contribute to accomplishing a green strategy for signs

bull Look into working with a sign company that does environmentally responsible production

Ask what programs a company has in place for things like solvent use reducshytion water conservation disposal and recycling of manufacturing waste and by products Do they use low VOC paints do they use T5 or T8 bulbs in building ilshyluminated signs do they build illuminated signs and letters with LED lighting do they install signs on the wall with mechanical fasteners instead of glue

bull Analyze the various elements of the design fabrication installation and product life cycle to eliminate materials and methods that are contrary to the intent of sustainability

Look toward the use of durable materials that fit a signs application or location in order to extend the life of the sign Implement a design that allows for signing to be updated with discarding the entire sign Select materials that will not deteshyriate from weather or environmental conditions

Utilize signs that are constructed from a component based system that allows for message modification and that can incorporate changes without have to reshyplace the entire sign Recycle signs whenever possible

bull A sign program can aid in the qualifications of a building for a LEEDreg rating

A sign program can be developed that educates the public on the benefits of a green building It can highlight and identify elements systems and materials of a building that specifically contribute to the LEEDreg rating

bull Look specifically at materials involved in producing signs

A material such as aluminum is commonly used in signs can be recycled This is a better material selection than say wood even considering that wood is also a product that can be recycled The life cycle of a wood sign is considerably shorter than a sign made of aluminum so it enters the ldquowaste streamrdquo sooner

Fabrication Emerging Technologies Advancements in Cutting Routing and Milling

Water Jet Cutting

ldquoThe water jet is unparalleled in many aspects of cutting and has changed the way many products are manufactured Many types of water jets exist today including pure water jets (water only) abrasive water jets percussive water jets cavitation jets and hybrid jets Operation of the cutter is commonly connected to a high-presshysure water pump where the water is then ejected from the nozzle cutting through the material by spraying it with the jet of high-speed water Additives in the form of suspended grit or other abrasives such as garnet and aluminum oxide can assist in this process

An important benefit of the water jet cutter is the ability to cut material without intershyfering with the materialrsquos inherent structure as there is no ldquoheat-affected zonerdquo Water jet cutters are also capable of producing rather intricate cuts in material With speshycialized software and 3-D machining heads complex 3-D shapes can be produced

Advances in control and motion technology 5-axis water jet cutting (abrasive and pure) has become a reality

Water jet is considered a ldquogreenrdquo technology Water jets produce no hazardous waste reducing waste disposal costs They can cut off large pieces of reusable scrap material that might have been lost using traditional cutting methods Parts can be closely nested to maximize material use and the water jet saves material by creating very little kerf Water jets use very little water (a half gallon to approximately one gallon per minute depending on cutting head orifice size) and the water that is used can be recycled using a closed-looped system Wastewater usually is clean enough to filter and dispose of down a drain The garnet abrasive is a non-toxic natural substance that can be recycled for repeated use Garnet usually can be disposed of in a landfill Water jets also eliminate airborne dust particles smoke fumes and contaminants from cutting materials such as asbestos and fiberglass This greatly improves the work environment and reduces problems arising from operator exposurerdquo

Photo Polymer

Advancements in Materials

ldquoA photopolymer is a polymer that changes its properties when exposed to light often in the ultraviolet spectrum These polymers are useful in dentistry for fillings and in rapid prototyping in the stereo lithography and 3D printing processes In the past this material was also used in the creation of ABAADA compliant Architectural Signage However the photo polymer does NOT produce a domed Braille dot And an application of paint to form the dome is required This material also used as a relief plate for flexographic printing can be used in plastics paper labels and sign inserts Some commercial brands worldwide include DuPont Cyrel BASF Nyloflex Novacryl Elaslon McDermid and Soleflex Exaprint

The basic material is soft and light sensitive A selective exposure to UV lamps is then applied then developed and cured the procedure involves exposing image wise a photopolymerizable element to actinic radiation emitting at a wavelength in the range of 365 nm removing the unexposed or unpolymerized areas of the plate with solvent drying the resulting plate The photopolymerized element can then be detackified by exposing the element to UV radiation emitting a wavelength in the range of 254 nm To ensure final plate hardening and photopolymerization the printing element can be further post-exposed to radiation emitting at wavelengths in the range of 365 nm

Page A1ndash12

Fabrication Emerging Technologies Advancements in Cutting Routing and Milling

Current platemaking processes utilize various sources of radiation for developing relief images and maximizing plate hardening For example actinic radiation from a variety of sources can be used including commercial ultraviolet fluorescent tubes medium high and low pressure mercury vapor lamps argon glow lamps photographic flood lamps pulsed xenon lamps carbon arc lamps etc Called photopolymeric flexographic relief printing plates in the flexographic printing plate industry because maximum consistent print quality will be obtained using plates with reduced shrinkagerdquo

Introduction Sustainability

Sustainability Executive Order (EO) 13514 ldquoFederal Leadership in Environmental Energy and Economic Performancerdquo was signed by President Obama on 5 October 2009 This EO does not rescindeliminate the requirements of EO 13423 Instead it expands on the energy reduction and environmental performance requirements for Federal agencies identified in EO 13423

The goal of EO 13514 is ldquoto establish an integrated strategy towards sustainability in the Federal Government and to make reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) a priority for Federal agenciesrdquo

Towards meeting that goal Federal agencies are required to meet a series of deadshylines critical to achieving the GHG reduction goals of the EO This EO also sets non-numerical targets that agencies must reach The full text of the required targets and strategies can be found within Executive Order 13514

Green Strategies for Signs

Signs in and of themselves are not an item that can be considered ldquogreenrdquo or a LEEDreg product or product created from materials that are recycled However there are many elements related to signs that can contribute to accomplishing a green strategy for signs

bull Look into working with a sign company that does environmentally responsible production

Ask what programs a company has in place for things like solvent use reducshytion water conservation disposal and recycling of manufacturing waste and by products Do they use low VOC paints do they use T5 or T8 bulbs in building ilshyluminated signs do they build illuminated signs and letters with LED lighting do they install signs on the wall with mechanical fasteners instead of glue

bull Analyze the various elements of the design fabrication installation and product life cycle to eliminate materials and methods that are contrary to the intent of sustainability

Look toward the use of durable materials that fit a signs application or location in order to extend the life of the sign Implement a design that allows for signing to be updated with discarding the entire sign Select materials that will not deteshyriate from weather or environmental conditions

Utilize signs that are constructed from a component based system that allows for message modification and that can incorporate changes without have to reshyplace the entire sign Recycle signs whenever possible

bull A sign program can aid in the qualifications of a building for a LEEDreg rating

A sign program can be developed that educates the public on the benefits of a green building It can highlight and identify elements systems and materials of a building that specifically contribute to the LEEDreg rating

bull Look specifically at materials involved in producing signs

A material such as aluminum is commonly used in signs can be recycled This is a better material selection than say wood even considering that wood is also a product that can be recycled The life cycle of a wood sign is considerably shorter than a sign made of aluminum so it enters the ldquowaste streamrdquo sooner

Introduction Sign Index

Sign Numbering System

Example Sign

Each sign in this guide is given a specific index number that can be used to easily identify each individual sign Signs are named based on the sign type the family of sign they belong to and then given a specific number Signs are grouped based on their purpose configuration layout and installation specifications Certain sign families may have only one sign whereas others may have several signs assigned to them

Certain signs that have been used in the past may have been moved renamed or have been removed from the guide altogether when determining which signs are needed consult the guide to obtain the appropriate number for each necessary sign If planning on updating any or all signs refer to Section 2- ldquoNeed a Signrdquo Program of the Guide for more information

Signs are named in the following manner

IN - 1701 A XX Designates the type of sign

IN= Interior Signs

SP= Specialty Signs

EI= Exterior Illuminated Signs

EN= Exterior Non-Illuminated Signs

PS= Parking Structure Signs

PL= Parking Lot Signs

NC= Cemetery Signs

17 Two digit number identify a particular directory family

01 The two digit number following the period identifies a specific sign within the directory family

A The letter designates a specific sign configuration version andor layout for graphics

The following sign is an example of how this numbering system is used

Introduction Sustainability

Sustainability Executive Order (EO) 13514 ldquoFederal Leadership in Environmental Energy and Economic Performancerdquo was signed by President Obama on 5 October 2009 This EO does not rescindeliminate the requirements of EO 13423 Instead it expands on the energy reduction and environmental performance requirements for Federal agencies identified in EO 13423

The goal of EO 13514 is ldquoto establish an integrated strategy towards sustainability in the Federal Government and to make reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) a priority for Federal agenciesrdquo

Towards meeting that goal Federal agencies are required to meet a series of deadshylines critical to achieving the GHG reduction goals of the EO This EO also sets non-numerical targets that agencies must reach The full text of the required targets and strategies can be found within Executive Order 13514

Green Strategies for Signs

Signs in and of themselves are not an item that can be considered ldquogreenrdquo or a LEEDreg product or product created from materials that are recycled However there are many elements related to signs that can contribute to accomplishing a green strategy for signs

bull Look into working with a sign company that does environmentally responsible production

Ask what programs a company has in place for things like solvent use reducshytion water conservation disposal and recycling of manufacturing waste and by products Do they use low VOC paints do they use T5 or T8 bulbs in building ilshyluminated signs do they build illuminated signs and letters with LED lighting do they install signs on the wall with mechanical fasteners instead of glue

bull Analyze the various elements of the design fabrication installation and product life cycle to eliminate materials and methods that are contrary to the intent of sustainability

Look toward the use of durable materials that fit a signs application or location in order to extend the life of the sign Implement a design that allows for signing to be updated with discarding the entire sign Select materials that will not deteshyriate from weather or environmental conditions

Utilize signs that are constructed from a component based system that allows for message modification and that can incorporate changes without have to reshyplace the entire sign Recycle signs whenever possible

bull A sign program can aid in the qualifications of a building for a LEEDreg rating

A sign program can be developed that educates the public on the benefits of a green building It can highlight and identify elements systems and materials of a building that specifically contribute to the LEEDreg rating

bull Look specifically at materials involved in producing signs

A material such as aluminum is commonly used in signs can be recycled This is a better material selection than say wood even considering that wood is also a product that can be recycled The life cycle of a wood sign is considerably shorter than a sign made of aluminum so it enters the ldquowaste streamrdquo sooner

Introduction Sign Index

Sign Numbering System

Example Sign

Each sign in this guide is given a specific index number that can be used to easily identify each individual sign Signs are named based on the sign type the family of sign they belong to and then given a specific number Signs are grouped based on their purpose configuration layout and installation specifications Certain sign families may have only one sign whereas others may have several signs assigned to them

Certain signs that have been used in the past may have been moved renamed or have been removed from the guide altogether when determining which signs are needed consult the guide to obtain the appropriate number for each necessary sign If planning on updating any or all signs refer to Section 2- ldquoNeed a Signrdquo Program of the Guide for more information

Signs are named in the following manner

IN - 1701 A XX Designates the type of sign

IN= Interior Signs

SP= Specialty Signs

EI= Exterior Illuminated Signs

EN= Exterior Non-Illuminated Signs

PS= Parking Structure Signs

PL= Parking Lot Signs

NC= Cemetery Signs

17 Two digit number identify a particular directory family

01 The two digit number following the period identifies a specific sign within the directory family

A The letter designates a specific sign configuration version andor layout for graphics

The following sign is an example of how this numbering system is used

IN-0403 Primary Room Identification with Insert

Blood Draw

Introduction Sustainability

Sustainability Executive Order (EO) 13514 ldquoFederal Leadership in Environmental Energy and Economic Performancerdquo was signed by President Obama on 5 October 2009 This EO does not rescindeliminate the requirements of EO 13423 Instead it expands on the energy reduction and environmental performance requirements for Federal agencies identified in EO 13423

The goal of EO 13514 is ldquoto establish an integrated strategy towards sustainability in the Federal Government and to make reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) a priority for Federal agenciesrdquo

Towards meeting that goal Federal agencies are required to meet a series of deadshylines critical to achieving the GHG reduction goals of the EO This EO also sets non-numerical targets that agencies must reach The full text of the required targets and strategies can be found within Executive Order 13514

Green Strategies for Signs

Signs in and of themselves are not an item that can be considered ldquogreenrdquo or a LEEDreg product or product created from materials that are recycled However there are many elements related to signs that can contribute to accomplishing a green strategy for signs

bull Look into working with a sign company that does environmentally responsible production

Ask what programs a company has in place for things like solvent use reducshytion water conservation disposal and recycling of manufacturing waste and by products Do they use low VOC paints do they use T5 or T8 bulbs in building ilshyluminated signs do they build illuminated signs and letters with LED lighting do they install signs on the wall with mechanical fasteners instead of glue

bull Analyze the various elements of the design fabrication installation and product life cycle to eliminate materials and methods that are contrary to the intent of sustainability

Look toward the use of durable materials that fit a signs application or location in order to extend the life of the sign Implement a design that allows for signing to be updated with discarding the entire sign Select materials that will not deteshyriate from weather or environmental conditions

Utilize signs that are constructed from a component based system that allows for message modification and that can incorporate changes without have to reshyplace the entire sign Recycle signs whenever possible

bull A sign program can aid in the qualifications of a building for a LEEDreg rating

A sign program can be developed that educates the public on the benefits of a green building It can highlight and identify elements systems and materials of a building that specifically contribute to the LEEDreg rating

bull Look specifically at materials involved in producing signs

A material such as aluminum is commonly used in signs can be recycled This is a better material selection than say wood even considering that wood is also a product that can be recycled The life cycle of a wood sign is considerably shorter than a sign made of aluminum so it enters the ldquowaste streamrdquo sooner

Introduction Sign Index

Sign Numbering System

Example Sign

Each sign in this guide is given a specific index number that can be used to easily identify each individual sign Signs are named based on the sign type the family of sign they belong to and then given a specific number Signs are grouped based on their purpose configuration layout and installation specifications Certain sign families may have only one sign whereas others may have several signs assigned to them

Certain signs that have been used in the past may have been moved renamed or have been removed from the guide altogether when determining which signs are needed consult the guide to obtain the appropriate number for each necessary sign If planning on updating any or all signs refer to Section 2- ldquoNeed a Signrdquo Program of the Guide for more information

Signs are named in the following manner

IN - 1701 A XX Designates the type of sign

IN= Interior Signs

SP= Specialty Signs

EI= Exterior Illuminated Signs

EN= Exterior Non-Illuminated Signs

PS= Parking Structure Signs

PL= Parking Lot Signs

NC= Cemetery Signs

17 Two digit number identify a particular directory family

01 The two digit number following the period identifies a specific sign within the directory family

A The letter designates a specific sign configuration version andor layout for graphics

The following sign is an example of how this numbering system is used

IN-0403 Primary Room Identification with Insert

Blood Draw

2528625286 25286

IN- Designates that this sign is an Interior Sign

04- Designates that this sign is a Primary Room Identification sign

03- Identifies this specific sign in the Room Identification sign family (Sign with Insert)

Introduction Sustainability

Sustainability Executive Order (EO) 13514 ldquoFederal Leadership in Environmental Energy and Economic Performancerdquo was signed by President Obama on 5 October 2009 This EO does not rescindeliminate the requirements of EO 13423 Instead it expands on the energy reduction and environmental performance requirements for Federal agencies identified in EO 13423

The goal of EO 13514 is ldquoto establish an integrated strategy towards sustainability in the Federal Government and to make reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) a priority for Federal agenciesrdquo

Towards meeting that goal Federal agencies are required to meet a series of deadshylines critical to achieving the GHG reduction goals of the EO This EO also sets non-numerical targets that agencies must reach The full text of the required targets and strategies can be found within Executive Order 13514

Green Strategies for Signs

Signs in and of themselves are not an item that can be considered ldquogreenrdquo or a LEEDreg product or product created from materials that are recycled However there are many elements related to signs that can contribute to accomplishing a green strategy for signs

bull Look into working with a sign company that does environmentally responsible production

Ask what programs a company has in place for things like solvent use reducshytion water conservation disposal and recycling of manufacturing waste and by products Do they use low VOC paints do they use T5 or T8 bulbs in building ilshyluminated signs do they build illuminated signs and letters with LED lighting do they install signs on the wall with mechanical fasteners instead of glue

bull Analyze the various elements of the design fabrication installation and product life cycle to eliminate materials and methods that are contrary to the intent of sustainability

Look toward the use of durable materials that fit a signs application or location in order to extend the life of the sign Implement a design that allows for signing to be updated with discarding the entire sign Select materials that will not deteshyriate from weather or environmental conditions

Utilize signs that are constructed from a component based system that allows for message modification and that can incorporate changes without have to reshyplace the entire sign Recycle signs whenever possible

bull A sign program can aid in the qualifications of a building for a LEEDreg rating

A sign program can be developed that educates the public on the benefits of a green building It can highlight and identify elements systems and materials of a building that specifically contribute to the LEEDreg rating

bull Look specifically at materials involved in producing signs

A material such as aluminum is commonly used in signs can be recycled This is a better material selection than say wood even considering that wood is also a product that can be recycled The life cycle of a wood sign is considerably shorter than a sign made of aluminum so it enters the ldquowaste streamrdquo sooner

Introduction Sign Index

Sign Numbering System

Example Sign

Each sign in this guide is given a specific index number that can be used to easily identify each individual sign Signs are named based on the sign type the family of sign they belong to and then given a specific number Signs are grouped based on their purpose configuration layout and installation specifications Certain sign families may have only one sign whereas others may have several signs assigned to them

Certain signs that have been used in the past may have been moved renamed or have been removed from the guide altogether when determining which signs are needed consult the guide to obtain the appropriate number for each necessary sign If planning on updating any or all signs refer to Section 2- ldquoNeed a Signrdquo Program of the Guide for more information

Signs are named in the following manner

IN - 1701 A XX Designates the type of sign

IN= Interior Signs

SP= Specialty Signs

EI= Exterior Illuminated Signs

EN= Exterior Non-Illuminated Signs

PS= Parking Structure Signs

PL= Parking Lot Signs

NC= Cemetery Signs

17 Two digit number identify a particular directory family

01 The two digit number following the period identifies a specific sign within the directory family

A The letter designates a specific sign configuration version andor layout for graphics

The following sign is an example of how this numbering system is used

IN-0403 Primary Room Identification with Insert

Blood Draw

2528625286 25286

IN- Designates that this sign is an Interior Sign

04- Designates that this sign is a Primary Room Identification sign

03- Identifies this specific sign in the Room Identification sign family (Sign with Insert)

Introduction Sustainability

Sustainability Executive Order (EO) 13514 ldquoFederal Leadership in Environmental Energy and Economic Performancerdquo was signed by President Obama on 5 October 2009 This EO does not rescindeliminate the requirements of EO 13423 Instead it expands on the energy reduction and environmental performance requirements for Federal agencies identified in EO 13423

The goal of EO 13514 is ldquoto establish an integrated strategy towards sustainability in the Federal Government and to make reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) a priority for Federal agenciesrdquo

Towards meeting that goal Federal agencies are required to meet a series of deadshylines critical to achieving the GHG reduction goals of the EO This EO also sets non-numerical targets that agencies must reach The full text of the required targets and strategies can be found within Executive Order 13514

Green Strategies for Signs

Signs in and of themselves are not an item that can be considered ldquogreenrdquo or a LEEDreg product or product created from materials that are recycled However there are many elements related to signs that can contribute to accomplishing a green strategy for signs

bull Look into working with a sign company that does environmentally responsible production

Ask what programs a company has in place for things like solvent use reducshytion water conservation disposal and recycling of manufacturing waste and by products Do they use low VOC paints do they use T5 or T8 bulbs in building ilshyluminated signs do they build illuminated signs and letters with LED lighting do they install signs on the wall with mechanical fasteners instead of glue

bull Analyze the various elements of the design fabrication installation and product life cycle to eliminate materials and methods that are contrary to the intent of sustainability

Look toward the use of durable materials that fit a signs application or location in order to extend the life of the sign Implement a design that allows for signing to be updated with discarding the entire sign Select materials that will not deteshyriate from weather or environmental conditions

Utilize signs that are constructed from a component based system that allows for message modification and that can incorporate changes without have to reshyplace the entire sign Recycle signs whenever possible

bull A sign program can aid in the qualifications of a building for a LEEDreg rating

A sign program can be developed that educates the public on the benefits of a green building It can highlight and identify elements systems and materials of a building that specifically contribute to the LEEDreg rating

bull Look specifically at materials involved in producing signs

A material such as aluminum is commonly used in signs can be recycled This is a better material selection than say wood even considering that wood is also a product that can be recycled The life cycle of a wood sign is considerably shorter than a sign made of aluminum so it enters the ldquowaste streamrdquo sooner

Introduction Sign Index

Sign Numbering System

Example Sign

Each sign in this guide is given a specific index number that can be used to easily identify each individual sign Signs are named based on the sign type the family of sign they belong to and then given a specific number Signs are grouped based on their purpose configuration layout and installation specifications Certain sign families may have only one sign whereas others may have several signs assigned to them

Certain signs that have been used in the past may have been moved renamed or have been removed from the guide altogether when determining which signs are needed consult the guide to obtain the appropriate number for each necessary sign If planning on updating any or all signs refer to Section 2- ldquoNeed a Signrdquo Program of the Guide for more information

Signs are named in the following manner

IN - 1701 A XX Designates the type of sign

IN= Interior Signs

SP= Specialty Signs

EI= Exterior Illuminated Signs

EN= Exterior Non-Illuminated Signs

PS= Parking Structure Signs

PL= Parking Lot Signs

NC= Cemetery Signs

17 Two digit number identify a particular directory family

01 The two digit number following the period identifies a specific sign within the directory family

A The letter designates a specific sign configuration version andor layout for graphics

The following sign is an example of how this numbering system is used

IN-0403 Primary Room Identification with Insert

Introduction Sustainability

Sustainability Executive Order (EO) 13514 ldquoFederal Leadership in Environmental Energy and Economic Performancerdquo was signed by President Obama on 5 October 2009 This EO does not rescindeliminate the requirements of EO 13423 Instead it expands on the energy reduction and environmental performance requirements for Federal agencies identified in EO 13423

The goal of EO 13514 is ldquoto establish an integrated strategy towards sustainability in the Federal Government and to make reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) a priority for Federal agenciesrdquo

Towards meeting that goal Federal agencies are required to meet a series of deadshylines critical to achieving the GHG reduction goals of the EO This EO also sets non-numerical targets that agencies must reach The full text of the required targets and strategies can be found within Executive Order 13514

Green Strategies for Signs

Signs in and of themselves are not an item that can be considered ldquogreenrdquo or a LEEDreg product or product created from materials that are recycled However there are many elements related to signs that can contribute to accomplishing a green strategy for signs

bull Look into working with a sign company that does environmentally responsible production

Ask what programs a company has in place for things like solvent use reducshytion water conservation disposal and recycling of manufacturing waste and by products Do they use low VOC paints do they use T5 or T8 bulbs in building ilshyluminated signs do they build illuminated signs and letters with LED lighting do they install signs on the wall with mechanical fasteners instead of glue

bull Analyze the various elements of the design fabrication installation and product life cycle to eliminate materials and methods that are contrary to the intent of sustainability

Look toward the use of durable materials that fit a signs application or location in order to extend the life of the sign Implement a design that allows for signing to be updated with discarding the entire sign Select materials that will not deteshyriate from weather or environmental conditions

Utilize signs that are constructed from a component based system that allows for message modification and that can incorporate changes without have to reshyplace the entire sign Recycle signs whenever possible

bull A sign program can aid in the qualifications of a building for a LEEDreg rating

A sign program can be developed that educates the public on the benefits of a green building It can highlight and identify elements systems and materials of a building that specifically contribute to the LEEDreg rating

bull Look specifically at materials involved in producing signs

A material such as aluminum is commonly used in signs can be recycled This is a better material selection than say wood even considering that wood is also a product that can be recycled The life cycle of a wood sign is considerably shorter than a sign made of aluminum so it enters the ldquowaste streamrdquo sooner

Introduction Sign Index

Sign Numbering System

Example Sign

Each sign in this guide is given a specific index number that can be used to easily identify each individual sign Signs are named based on the sign type the family of sign they belong to and then given a specific number Signs are grouped based on their purpose configuration layout and installation specifications Certain sign families may have only one sign whereas others may have several signs assigned to them

Certain signs that have been used in the past may have been moved renamed or have been removed from the guide altogether when determining which signs are needed consult the guide to obtain the appropriate number for each necessary sign If planning on updating any or all signs refer to Section 2- ldquoNeed a Signrdquo Program of the Guide for more information

Signs are named in the following manner

IN - 1701 A XX Designates the type of sign

IN= Interior Signs

SP= Specialty Signs

EI= Exterior Illuminated Signs

EN= Exterior Non-Illuminated Signs

PS= Parking Structure Signs

PL= Parking Lot Signs

NC= Cemetery Signs

17 Two digit number identify a particular directory family

01 The two digit number following the period identifies a specific sign within the directory family

A The letter designates a specific sign configuration version andor layout for graphics

The following sign is an example of how this numbering system is used

IN-0403 Primary Room Identification with Insert
